NAMI Walk 2011

 A couple weeks ago we had the opportunity to participate in our second NAMI (National Alliance on Mental Illness) Walk. The goal of the NAMI Walk is to raise awareness about mental health issues. It was humbling to reflect on those we know personally that struggle with mental health issues as we walked. I was grateful for the opportunity to take some time to remember and think about those who are affected by mental illness and their families.

I love the NAMI Walks because even though they support a rather sobering cause the walks are always fun with lots of life and laughter.

Which is awesome.

It was fun to see how much the boys have changed since our last NAMI Walk 5 months ago in South Carolina.

The boys love to be outside so they were great troopers despite the warm weather. I'm really looking forward to participating in our local NAMI Walk in the coming years.
