NAMIWalks Vermont
Thank you to everyone who participated in our NAMIWalks event on May 17, 2025. This year’s walk was incredibly impactful, with many people showing up despite the less-than-ideal weather conditions. We made significant progress, but there’s still time to fundraise and reach our goal. Thank you for supporting mental health for all!
What is NAMIWalks Vermont?
