On Oct. 15th I attended the NAMI-MA Convention. Its an annual event they hold in an effort to keep the public informed about mental health issues. Our team ‘Walking for Cailean Walker’ was named the ‘Team of 2005′ and I was given the ‘Captain of 2005′ award. Both last year’s and this year’s walk organizers were touched by our team’s story and all the support.

NAMI has announced the date for the 2006 walk and I have started our team page for those who would like to sign up. I’ll pass on more details as the date gets closer.
