Will You Be There?
We are so grateful to our sponsors, supporters, volunteers, and donations-as well the
hundreds of people who do show up for NAMIWalks. But looking at the numbers, we often wonder why more people don't participate. About 1 in 4 people will suffer some form of a mental health condition - add family members and caregivers and you'd think there would be thousands walking with NAMI Franklin County. Read more.
