NAMI | NAMIWALKS - in Kirkland, Saturday morning, May 14

NAMI NAMIWALKS

My brother, Rick died suddenly at the age of 47 from a severe mood disorder complicated by medication withdrawal. Our team "rickyoderteam" is walking for Rick on Saturday. So far, my wife, Pam and daughter, Lexie are on our team. If you'd like to join us, click: www.nami.org/namiwalks11/SEA/rick. I'd be happy to tell our team Rick's his story during and after our walk.

I hear there's lots of support for this Walk. Members from Redmond, Kirkland and Bellevue City Councils are walking.  Redmond Mayor Marchione may attend.   Fairfax Hospital is the Presenting Sponsor.  Evergreen Hospital, Overlake Hospital, TEAM Virginia Mason Hospital, Woodinville Rotary, and Fairwinds are primary Gold Sponsors.
