"Students Speak Loud & Proud Destigmatizing Mental Illness"

AmericanTown's Heros: Neil Barber ALWAYS a Hero 

Picture
Picture
Neil Barber, age 45, passed away peacefully on August 27th from complications from pneumonia. Neil suffered from Mental Illness for over 27 years.
Prior to his illness, he was a popular and outstanding athlete at Manhasset High School and Canterbury Prep School.
More importantly, Neil was a wonderful person who fought his devastating illness with incredible courage and never complained.
His illness wrecked havoc with his brain, but never with his heart.
He always helped others less fortunate than himself, and we were blessed to have him in our lives.
His charity, NeilsWheels, will continue to destigmatize Mental Illness and to raise food for Hungry Families.

In Honor Of Neil PLEASE donate to the Brain & Behavior Foundation, the leading organization trying to find cures for all Mental illnesses. Other ways to Support NeilsWheelsNY

Neil Barber is a Hero to Many Families

Picture
"Families, teams and communities are very much alike. They all involve people banding together with common goals of support and success. This hero story is about a member of a family and a team and a community and how they all come together. Neil Barber was "thrown a curve ball," as his father says. At the age of 16 and a rising lacrosse star, he became mentally challenged and was eventually diagnosed and hospitalized for Schizophrenia. Barber's family was there for him, as were his friends and teammates".
