The University of Vermont swimming and diving team participated in the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) 5k walk at Waterfront Park in Burlington over the weekend for the second straight year. The team helped raise over $3700 for the NAMI organization.

NAMI is the nation’s largest grassroots mental health organization dedicated to building better lives for the millions of Americans affected by mental illness by providing services, treatment and research. As part of their cause, they organize NAMIWalks throughout the country to help generate support and awareness for those affected. NAMIWalks has become the largest and most successful mental health awareness and fundraising event in America, and is celebrating its 12th anniversary this year.
