Such an amazing day bringing mental health first aid kits to McKenzie River event. 3 years ago their community was forever changed by wild fires, they come together each year since to show support for each other, offer help and be together. It was an honor to join then this year. Also, the live music was AMAZING! I loved all of it.
6 years ago in the first picture, today for the rest. Thank you Bridgeway Recovery Services for hosting an amazing event year after year. We handed out over 80 mental health first aid kits at the Run for Recovery in Salem. I am so blessed to be supported, encouraged and loved by this crew. I didn't get pictures with Julie Hynes, Roger, or Tim but boy do I appreciate them! ![]()
RAD event next Saturday, McKenzie River event on Sunday then Health and Wellness Expo at Lane Events Center in Eugene the following weekend! Its been a busy couple months! We're so blessed.
So today is PROBLEM GAMBLING AWARENESS DAY, Happy Heavenly Birthday to my brother Bobby. 28 years ago we started working to help others understand what gambling addiction was. We created an organization in his honor, we share a message of help and hope, we've paid our way to many conferences, speaking engagements, tabling events, done the paper work and foot work to keep his spirit alive and help other families avoid the pain we've endured. We have had amazing support from a few places, Lane County, Oregon Health Authority, STOP Predatory Gambling as well as a few individuals. We've petitioned for and received signed Proclamations from Oregon governors since 1997. ![]()
I am so disappointed to say, although they support what we're doing, Governor Kotek did not issue us one this year. She will post about it on social media at some time today tho.![]()
My hope today is the same as it's always been, may our message reach those who need to hear it today. Please TAKE A BREAK for 1 day. ![]()
I love you Bobby.
