This year marks the 10th anniversary of NAMIWalks nationally, and in New Hampshire. The New Hampshire event will be Sept. 30, at the soccer fields on the State Hospital Campus (Fruit Street, across from Memorial Field); registration opens at 9 a.m. More than $9 million was raised over 84 NAMIWalks events nationally in 2011 to support local programs and initiatives.
