“The size of the crowd is amazing. I mean, we’ve come a long way in the 22 years of the walk, and it’s just heartwarming to see all the people who came out today: the volunteers, the sponsors, the walkers; it’s fabulous,” Karen Matteuzzi, NAMI St. Louis board president, said.
Organizers say the event helps eliminate the stigma sometimes associated with mental health.
