Details
The National Alliance on Mental Illness-NYC Metro announced today that hip hop legend, author and mental health advocate Darryl "DMC" McDaniels will serve as grand marshal of its 11th annual NAMIWalks NYC. The annual event is the largest mental health fundraising and awareness walk in the country with more than 5,000 attendees walking to promote awareness, fight discrimination and help raise funds to support New York families and individuals living with mental illnesses.
The Walk begins at the South Street Seaport Promenade where participants will gather to travel over the Brooklyn Bridge and back, and then celebrate their accomplishment at a post-walk wellness fair which will include such activities as free massage, yoga, basic health screenings, raffle prizes and more. In years past, First Lady of New York City Chirlane McCray and mental health advocate Jaclyn Stapp have served as grand marshal, and bands such as Boola and Controller have performed.
