Dear friends and family,
I am writing you today to tell you about an upcoming event that I am participating in that is very important to me: NAMIWalks, the signature walkathon event of the National Alliance on Mental Illness Of Virginia.
The event is being held in Richmond, VA at Innsbrook on October 19, 2013 and I would like to ask you to make a donation to support my participation in this event.
NAMI, the National Alliance on Mental Illness, is the largest education, support and advocacy organization that serves the needs of all whose lives are touched by these illnesses. This includes persons with mental illness, their families, friends, employers, the law enforcement community and policy makers.
The NAMI organization is composed of approximately 1100 local affiliates, 50 state offices and a national office.
The goals of the NAMIWalks program are to fight the stigma that surrounds mental illness, to build awareness of the fact that the mental health system in this country needs to be improved, and to raise funds for NAMI so that they can continue their mission.
NAMI has been rated by Worth magazine as among the top 100 charities "most likely to save the world" and has been given an "A+" rating by The American Institute of Philanthropy for efficient and effective use of charitable dollar. NAMI has also been given 4 out of 4 stars by The Charity Navigator for short-term spending practices and long-term sustainability.
NAMI is a 501(c)3 charity and any donation you make to support my participation in this event is tax deductible.
Please take the time to visit my personal walker page to support my efforts. You can make a donation at: **INSERT THE LINK TO YOUR PERSONAL PAGE HERE**

Thank you in advance for your support.
