On November 6th I will be running the New York City Marathon to support mental health through the National Alliance on Mental Illness of New York City! This organization helps over 30,000 New Yorkers annually, all free of charge, through mental health education, support, and advocacy.

We all know the horrific events our country has faced due to individuals either knowingly or unknowingly experiencing mental illness. With your help, we can expand NAMI-NYC’s peer-led support groups and educational courses that allow people to share their struggles, and talk about symptoms, treatments, and strategies for coping. All groups and classes are facilitated by trained volunteers and have been nationally recognized since the organizations founding in 1982.

I would greatly appreciate any donations provided, and please reach out to my email, wjgibbens@gmail.com, for any questions you have.  

For more information on NAMI-NYC's programs or to access their services, please contact the Helpline: 212.684.3264 or helpline@naminyc.org

Thank you!
