A message from Julene:

Dear friends and family, Welcome to my personal web page for NAMIWalks for the Mind of America. As you know, I lost my beautiful sister, Ann, on January 4,2008. It was her 41st birthday. If anyone would have told me five years ago that Ann would end her life, I never would have believed it. To watch someone you love so deeply suffer with Depression is a terrible thing. Mental illness is not something one can control. It controls them. Ann was always so smart, witty, loving and kind. This is what is so heartbreaking to all of us who loved her. Her world slowly began crumbling around her as she struggled to get control of her illness. Ann tried so hard to get well. Even with the best doctors and top care, this terrible disease consumed her completely, as hard as she fought it. All she ever wanted was to be happy, to love her husband,Joe, her friends and her family. In the end, I know that she only wanted to find peace.

I feel her spirit everyday all around me.

I know how pleased my sweet sister would be to know that all these wonderful people who knew her and loved her will be walking in her memory on April 19, 2008. Her life WILL make a difference. That was very important to her!

You can make a difference, too, for all those struggling in this world to find their peace. Please make a donation to NAMI through this page. It 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 and I appreciate your donation. Thank you for your thoughtfulness and for supporting this great cause.

Julene Greenshields
