More than 3,000 walkers participated this year including eleven Yardi team members.<\/p>\n<p>Greg Smith, Vice President, Client Services and Raleigh\u2019s General Manager, shared why he has participated in the event for multiple years. \u201cIn 2011 our office was rocked by the suicide of one of our most fun and energetic team members, Tim Owens.\u00a0 Tim\u2019s death put a spotlight on depression and mental health for me. In the days and weeks after, our team members came together to support each other and share.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Mental illness\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nami.org\/Learn-More\/Mental-Health-By-the-Numbers\">affects as many as 1 in 5 American adults.<\/a> It wasn\u2019t until the death of Owens that Smith realized the scope of mental illnesses in the United States.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s not just depression,\u201d Smith reflected. \u201cThere\u2019s PTSD, postpartum depression, eating disorders, schizophrenia, anxiety \u2013 the list goes on and on.\u00a0But unlike when someone has cancer or arthritis, there\u2019s a stigma associated with mental health. People are embarrassed, even though these are real health problems that can be diagnosed and in many cases treated.\u00a0 The result of that stigma is that people don\u2019t get help.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Walk not only raises money for medical research, but it also raises awareness and gets conversations going,\u201d said Smith.<\/p>\n<p>All of the funds raised by participants\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.walkforhope.com\/research\/\">directly benefits local mental health research<\/a>\u00a0at the UNC-Chapel Hill Department of Psychiatry. To date, the organization has donated $5 million to 128 research grants. The grants leveraged an additional $145 million from the National Institute of Health. The nonprofit has also donated more than $320,000 to 36 local community service grants.<\/p>\n<p>Yardi team members that participated in the event included Greg Smith, Emily Smith, Brian Smith, Cristina Craven, Pam Davison, Tahmeko McDonald, Trevor Hyde, Karen Bennett, Isabella Mitchell, Ronnie Sanders, and Jenny Moore.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt was great seeing newer employees along with long-time employees,\u201d said Smith. \u201cEven Isabella from New York came down. We were all walking together and having fun.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The fun lasted through the afternoon, despite the South\u2019s infamous heat and humidity. \u201cIt felt good to raise awareness and money! We were all tired and hot but it felt good to participate in making a difference.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Yardi is a corporate sponsor of Walk for Hope. In addition to that sponsorship, the Yardi Raleigh raised over $5000, including $1,500 from the New York office.<\/p>\n<p>Yardi is Energized for Good!
