K of C Run 2 Home Base
According to the U.S. Veterans Administration, about 40 New Hampshire veterans commit suicide every year, and 22 veterans take their own lives every day nationwide. Many veterans struggle to recover from the invisible wounds of war. Many are family members, friends, and neighbors.
The New Hampshire Knights of Columbus are participating in the annual Run to Home Base held at Fenway Park, on July 25, 2026. Home Base, a Red Sox Foundation and Mass General Hospital program, is a national nonprofit dedicated to healing the invisible wounds of war for Veterans of all eras, Service Members, Military Families and Families of the fallen – all at no cost to them – regardless of era of service, discharge status or geographical location.
