A MESSAGE FROM Griffin's Fundraising Page
Support me and NAMI-NYC as I run the 2023 TCS New York City Marathon!
NAMI-NYC helps families and individuals affected by mental illness build better lives through education, support, and advocacy.
Mental health affects all of our daily lives, whether it's our own or those close to us, whether it's in big or small ways. It's one of the most important issues in this country today, and doesn't receive the proportional attention and support it requires. Running and exercise have always been a huge part of attending to my own mental health, so I am thrilled to be raising money for NAMI-NYC to support their cause and to run the 2023 TSC New York City Marathon.
As a mental health leader in New York City, NAMI-NYC provides the most comprehensive family and peer support system. Our core programs are nationally recognized, evidence-based programs. Since 1982, NAMI-NYC has provided support to a vastly under-served population of families and individuals who live with mental illness. Our Helpline, peer-led support groups, and educational courses allow families and individuals to share their struggles, and talk about symptoms, treatments, community resources, and strategies for coping. All groups and classes are facilitated by trained peer volunteers - we have "been there," where you are, and we understand what you're going through. Your donations help NAMI-NYC provide education, support, and advocacy to over 30,000 New Yorkers yearly, all free-of-charge to anyone who needs them. With your support, we will continue to expand our services to reach more New Yorkers every year. Thank you. For more information on NAMI-NYC's programs or to access their services, please contact the Helpline: 212.684.3264 or helpline@naminyc.org
