In 2018-2019, I visited the ten cities I mentioned in my first book. While in each city, I raised money for each local National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) chapter, through encouraging donations and by giving all proceeds of my book to each NAMI chapter I visited ($8 of every $10 book sale went directly to them). I have since completed this tour, and will be taking a short break before hitting the road again in fall with my second book.

Going forward, I cannot continue to donate all proceeds to each city, as I need to support myself while on the road. However, if you’d like to donate to your local chapter, visit their website and donate to them. I’ve found the easiest way to find them is to Google your county and include NAMI in your search.
As a reminder, while donating to NAMI National helps fund mental health research projects, which helps build the foundation for the mental health programs in each chapter, each city’s local chapter funds their own mental health programs. By donating local, you can help build the mental health programs in your own city.
