The walk is scheduled for 9 a.m. May 17 on the campus of Educational Testing Service in Princeton. The spring walk-a-thon is NAMI Mercer’s largest community outreach activity with the dual goals of fighting stigma and raising money to support its free programs for individuals and families affected by mental illness.
