A message from Joan:
Welcome to my personal web page for NAMIWalks for the Mind of America. I have created this fund raising page because NAMI, and the work they do, is very important to our family
As most of you know, Don and I lost our wonderful daughter, Ann, to the terrible disease of depression in January. For several years, Ann's depression was mild and she lived a normal life. Ann was a beautiful, smart, loving, compassionate, witty and fun loving young woman. However, four years ago, her depression worsened and she was also diagnosed as bi-polar with acute anxiety and her world began to fall apart.
Ann had the best doctors, hospitals and therapy. Also the loving support of her husband, Joe, her family and her many friends, but her mental illness continued to rob her of her spirit and her identity. Her pain was so overwhelming that on January 4, her 41st birthday, she took her own life. We can only hope she finally found the peace that eluded her here.
In her memory, we will be participating in the San Diego area walk on April 19 and we would appreciate any donation you can make to help sponsor us.
Donating to me 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 and for the millions of Americans afflicted with some form of mental illness.
Thank you very much for your support.
