Dear [FRIEND], 

As you may know, NAMI Greater Los Angeles County is committed to providing support and advocacy for all Angelenos impacted by mental illness. Like NAMI, I believe that hope and empowerment changes lives. With your help, we can ensure mental health for all. In order to achieve these important goals, I’ve set a personal goal of raising [$XXX] during while training for and completing the LA Marathon / Charity Challenge 13.1. 

Can you support me by donating $35, $50 or $100 to sponsor me? Check out my fundraising page here: [INSERT YOUR PERSONALIZED FUNDRAISING PAGE URL HERE]. Thank you so much for supporting me in my personal pursuit to make mental health for all a reality! 

 With gratitude, 

 YOUR NAME
