National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) NH's 12th Annual NAMIWalks 5K (shorter route also available)
Every year, mental illness impacts the lives of at least one in
four adults and one in 10 children across the United States—nearly 60 million
Americans.
Participating in NAMIWalks helps stomp out the stigma associated
with mental illness, and supports the National Alliance on Mental Illness
(NAMI) NH - a statewide, grassroots non-profit organization dedicated to improving
the quality of life of individuals affected by mental illness or emotional
disorders through education, support and advocacy.
Walk Day Registration opens at 9:00 am, and the Walk kicks off at 10:30 am.
Standard Walk route is 5K, but there's also a shorter route available. All are
invited to join us for a post-Walk grilled lunch; there is no registration fee
or minimum fundraising amount (all who raise at least $100 will get a Walk
t-shirt).
The largest mental health education and fundraising effort in America,
NAMIWalks brings together thousands of individuals and supporters to celebrate
mental illness recovery, to honor those who have lost their lives to mental
illness and to help raise funds, combat stigma and promote awareness.
