Greenville. Today I joined the Walk for NAMI (National Association for Mental Illness) which was supposed to be a 5K beginning at Fluor Field and proceeding along the Swamp Rabbit Trail.
The trail goes from downtown out to Furman University and on to Travelor's Rest. It is shaded by river birch, young oaks and many many blooming fragrant mimosas. Oddly, no one knew where the end of the walk was and so we continued on and on until someone decided we had gone too far and we turned around. The walkers were people with mental illness, their families, employees of hospitals and psychiatric offices, and others, even a large dental office group. Schizophrenia is the disease that took Peter and his sister, Maria.
