Hello Friends
On October 22nd I will walk a 5k in memory of my sister Holly. Her battle with mental illness ended with her death by suicide in January 2007. This walk is sponsored by, Aviva Family and Children’s Services. I have been a member of the Aviva team for over 16 years and I am proud of the work we do to support those struggling with mental illness.
You may walk with me (just register on my team) or just give a donation (click on Register/Donate button). Donations of any size are appreciated. I was so touched by the generosity of all of you last year. I was able to raise over $5000 and hope to beat this amount this year.
Thank you for your support and keeping Holly's memory alive.
Hugs and Cheers
Angela
