NAMIWalks NYC 2008
Held on Saturday May 10, 2008, the 2nd Annual NAMIWalks NYC brought nearly 2,000 walkers out to the South Street Seaport. Our message to end stigma rang loud and clear as we crossed the Brooklyn Bridge. In only two years the Walk has doubled the number of walkers and participants, and saw the addition of an on-site health and wellness fair that offered free yoga classes, massage, and health screenings. The fair provides NAMIWalks NYC with the perfect opportunity to examine the critical connection between mental and physical health. The fair was so successful, that NAMI National is working to adapt the model for all the NAMIWalks across the country.

Our belief that "the larger the crowd, the louder the voice!" was crucial in making NAMIWalks NYC the most successful of over 70 NAMIWalks in the country for the second year in a row!

NAMI-NYC Metro thanks all of last year's walkers, donors, sponsors, and volunteers who made the Walk such a tremendous success, especially the generous support of our Presenting Sponsor Pfizer Pharmaceuticals, and the partnership of our Co-Chair, St. Luke's-Roosevelt Hospital. With funds raised from NAMIWalks NYC, we are pleased to be able to support the Network of Care NYC website.
