Emmie Daswani, Adrian Delli Colli and Garret Roberts

In a difficult year, three college students and childhood friends embarked on a mission to raise awareness of the highs and lows of mental illness. The students, Emmie Daswani, Adrian Delli Colli and Garret Roberts, created the Concept Project as a way to spotlight social issues while completing mental and physical challenges outdoors. This winter, they began an incredible journey walking 120 miles from Mount Washington, the highest point in NH, to Hampton Beach, the lowest point, to represent the highs and lows of mental health during the pandemic. Not only did the Concept Project raise awareness of mental health, but they also raised nearly $10,000 for NAMI NH programs and services. Join us to hear about their inspiring adventure as they share photos, video, and stories of their expedition and find out about the plans for their upcoming challenges.
