Walk for the Mental Health of It!
SAVE THE DATE!
Saturday, May 12, 2012
Will you walk with us to change the world?
- We believe that as one person comes through the dark tunnel of depression and into the light, the world is changed.
- We think that when one child's family learns better ways to care for each other, the world becomes a healthier place.
- When one more person is accepted for what he is, not in terms of his mental illness, we're all changed for the better.
Join us at our annual walk which will be held, rain or shine, on Saturday, May 12, 2012 at Busse Woods in Elk Grove Village.
