What is NAMIWalks? Better to ask, Who is NAMIWalks?
NAMIWalks is first and foremost about people, inspired individuals reaching out to each other, one authentic story at a time, to form a community of hope.
NAMIWalks is the walk that has no finish line... only countless new beginnings for the people we serve - as we raise funds to power NAMI’s life-changing free programs and fuel growing awareness of our cause.
NAMIWalks is a celebration, a shining time and place for you to declare: "I will not step down, I will not step away. I will be there with my community."
No matter where we've been on our journey, we know where we're going, together.
