A message from Diana:
Welcome to my personal web page for NAMIWalks for the Mind of America. I have created this fundraising page because NAMI, and the work they do, is very important to me.
When I was first diagnosed with a mental illness, I thought my life was over. My bi-polar disorder and post traumatic stress disorder had cost me my job, my home and my relationship with my family.
NAMI San Diego gave me a purose and restored my self asteem by training me as an "In Our Own Voice" Presenter. I have been speaking about my recovery since January of 2001 and I now coordinate the program and am a California State Trainer.
This powerful program is our "Stigma Stomper" We have an opportunity to educate and give a new face to Mental Illness. We talk about our stuggels and success with recovery. There is no cure for mental illness yet, but "In Our Own Voice" allows presenters to reintegrate into the work force and helps them learn to live the best quality of life they can while living with a mental illness. Your donation will help bring hope and enlighten many more San Diegans.
Today I have a job I love, a wonderful relationship with my family and an opportunity to make a difference in people's lives thanks to NAMI San Diego. I am teaming with Toni Jeter,another IOOV presenter,on fundraising. She is having some physical challenges at the moment and asked me to speak for her.She also asks that you give whatever amount you can to a very worth cause.
Donating to us through this page is easy, fast and secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me. Any amount will make a difference for NAMI, but please try to give generously.
Both NAMI,Toni and I appreciate your donation. Thank you for your support.
