Support NAMI: Champion Mental Health
As an ultra-endurance athlete who has worked my entire adult life in the healthcare field, I want to continue lifting others up as I strive to go further and faster. I have chosen NAMI as a charity because mental health affects so many people in ways we may or may not see, from anxiety to autism, and depression to schizophrenia. It is NAMI's mission to provide advocacy, education, support and public awareness so that all individuals and families affected by mental illness can build better lives. With a Charity Navigator score of 98%, I am confident that the funds raised will be well utilized to support this great cause.

Nice News is fundraising
Nice News’ July 2024 Cause of the Month
Nice News writes a lot about mental health, and now we’re giving you the opportunity to support an organization at the forefront of building better lives for Americans affected by mental illness. As the nation’s largest grassroots mental health organization, the National Alliance on Mental Illness, better known as NAMI, is made up of more than 600 local affiliates working within communities to raise awareness and provide support and education.

Given that July is Disability Pride Month, we also want to highlight the connection between disability and mental health: According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, U.S. adults with disabilities report experiencing frequent mental distress nearly five times as often as adults without disabilities. Mental illness is also among the most commonly reported disabilities in the country.

NAMI has resources for those experiencing the intersection of disability and mental illness, as well as myriad other tools for anyone to use, including tips for caregivers, support groups, a helpline, information on the warning signs of mental illness, and so much more. Through public policy advocacy, education programs, and public awareness events, the organization is actively shaping a better world for us all.

One hundred percent of the proceeds from this fundraiser will go directly to NAMI. If you are struggling with your mental health, call the NAMI HelpLine at 1-800-950-NAMI (6264), text “helpline” to 62640, or email at [email redacted]; you can also call 988 to access the national suicide and crisis lifeline.

On Monday, July 13th, our beloved colleague and devoted friend, Josh Weimar suddenly and tragically passed away. Although Josh's time with us at Power was short, we will always cherish the memories we have of him and his spirit will remain in our hearts.

In remembrance of Josh, and to help raise awareness so others don't suffer a similar loss, those closest to him are raising money in his name to support NAMI. Millions of people in the United States, 1 in 5 or nearly 60 million, face the day-to-day reality of living with a mental health condition. NAMI, the National Alliance on Mental Illness, is the nation's largest grassroots mental health organization dedicated to providing advocacy, education, support and public awareness so that individuals and families affected by mental illness can build better lives.

Support NAMI in Honor of a Lost Friend
Recently, I lost one of my best friends to suicide. They were the happiest person that I knew, and they always managed to bring smiles to the faces of the people around them. Their death came as a surprise to many, as no one really knew the depth of their suffering. I would like to raise money in honor of them, with all proceeds going to NAMI, in hopes that it would help reach those who are silently struggling, too.

NAMI is a non-profit organization that stands for "National Alliance on Mental Illness." Donations to NAMI will support their efforts to educate, advocate, and support those struggling with mental illness, along with their families. If you or someone you know is struggling, please reach out. It's not too late. Whether it's a friend, a family member, or a professional, you don't have to struggle in silence. You have your whole life left to live, and even if things seem impossible to handle in the moment, there's always the potential for things to get better. And there will always be someone who loves you.

A Half for Healing: A Race for Mental Health

Please Share This GoFundMe With Anyone You Know :)

Mental Health challenges are a silent battle fought by 1 out of 5 people in the United States. This is more than a simple statistic, but rather a shared struggle faced by countless individuals across the country and around the world.

As someone who has suffered from generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) and panic disorder (PD) for over 10 years, I know firsthand the serious impact these conditions have on one's academic, social, and athletic life. Thankfully, I have never walked my mental health journey alone. Access to counselors and therapists has allowed me to progress far toward healing. As I prepare to graduate this Spring with a Bachelor's Degree in electrical engineering, I acknowledge that I would not be where I am today without this support. The personal growth I have experienced is a testament to the positive impact these resources have made in my life.

I am truly grateful for these resources, but many people are not as fortunate to have access to such mental health resources. These resources are crucial to the positive development and future success of individuals. That is why on April 13th, 2024, I will be running the Notre Dame Holy Half Marathon to raise money for mental health awareness & resources, intending to support existing and future programs.

My charity of choice is the National Alliance of Mental Illness (NAMI), an organization that focuses on supporting those who suffer from mental illness so they can live healthy and fulfilling lives. Money raised will help this organization further these initiatives by supporting those who suffer from mental illness while also educating others on how to help those who need their support. Your donations could go a long way to support individuals and their families so that all can live a life free from the burden of mental health disorders.

100% of contributions to this fundraiser will be donated to NAMI for charity. I will also personally be making up the difference for all transactional fees paid to GoFundMe (i.e. I will cover the 2.9% transaction fee). All support is welcome. Thank you & God Bless!
