Hello Family & Friends,
This year is more important than ever for Peace of Mind: 10,000 Steps in the Right Direction and the cause it serves in support of mental health awareness and research. Together with Alma Rosa Winery and all of this year's walk participants and donors, we aim to raise over $250,000 for our beneficiaries, One Mind and Mental Wellness Center–two key organizations at the forefront of this important movement. Alma Rosa proprietors Bob and Barb Zorich have even pledged to match all donations dollar-for-dollar up to the first $70,000.
This year, I have decided to support One Mind. One Mind was founded 28 years ago, and to date, has raised more than $500 million in direct and leveraged funding towards their vision of healthy brains for all. One Mind's mission is to speed up discoveries in brain health through large-scale, open-science research. They bring together the best minds in neuroscience around a collective goal to more effectively diagnose, prevent & treat brain disease and injury. Guided by an expert Scientific Advisory Board, One Mind supports researchers who are willing to share their data, stay focused on the needs of patients, and place clinical tools and improved therapies before academic achievement and journal publishing recognition.
Please consider donating any amount you can to my fundraiser page between now and July 22 to this worthy cause.
Thank you!
