Thank you to the 826 walkers and 52 sponsors who helped make the 1st Annual Mid-Carolina NAMIWALKS for the Mind of America a success in 2008. We hope that you, your friends, and family members will join us  for our 2nd Annual NAMIWALKS for the Mind of America on Saturday, April 25, 2009 at the West Columbia Riverwalk Park, located next to the New Orleans Restaurant at the corner of Gervais and Alexander Streets. From downtown Columbia, take US #1 (Gervais Street) west past the State Museum and over the Congaree River. As soon as you get over the bridge, take the first left turn onto Alexander Street. The park entrance will be on the left side of the road. We will walk south along the Three Rivers Greenway for 2.5 kilometers and turn around. The walk will take place rain or shine.
