This year, I’m asking for donations to support NAMI, a nonprofit that provides invaluable advocacy, education, and support for individuals and families affected by mental illness. Your contributions will help make a meaningful difference in our community.

Here are just a couple of ways your support will help:

NAMI’s mission resonates deeply with me, I got involved with NAMI in 2012 at my first walk in Forest Park, with my sisters, in my home town of Springfield, Massachusetts. I served on the BOD in my local affiliate, and am

now a certified Peer-to-Peer leader for NAMI. NAMI has given my advocacy a voice and I’m inspired by the leaders I met at NAMIcon with my sister Mary Lee in 2024. I’m looking forward to DC in 2027.

please help to raise awareness of mental illness.
