What is Walk the World for Schizophrenia?

Someone by the name of Jen Daisybee left a comment on my posting with the photos of Walk the World For Schizophrenia.  She asked me what Walk the World For Schizophrenia was.

Walk the World For Schizophrenia is an annual fund raising event we hold once a year in October.  People go around with pledge sheets and collect money for our local chapter of the Schizophrenia Society.  We hold the walk in Wolfville.  We walked from Robie Tufts Park down to Main Street, we walked down Main Street to the turn off to the Information Centre, turned around and walked back on Main Street then down past the Park again to the Lions Hall.  At the Lions Hall we gathered for good food, music from a live band, and we had draws for prizes.

We did not do as well this year as we did last year but every little bit helps.

Hi Tony,
Yes that was me who asked about that. Whereabouts do you live? I live in Florida. We don't have a Walk the World event here as far as I know. Not sure there is one in the U.S. anywhere. But there are NAMI (national alliance on mental illness) walks for awareness every year! It sounds like something similar. Our local NAMI chapter will have one this spring.
