Why Shatterproof?
My connection to this cause is deeply personal. My brother, Ted, battled addiction and its cycle of shame, isolation, and failure, and he had been in recovery for over 10 years. If you know someone who has struggled with this substance abuse, you also know all too well the pain and anguish of watching them stuck.
Tragically, Ted passed away at the age of 42 from esophageal cancer, a type of cancer that is highly treatable when caught early. Unfortunately, Ted had not sought treatment in time despite his pain.
This event is in his memory and aims to help others struggling with substance abuse, and their friends and families, avoid similar fates. By participating in this event, you'll help eliminate the stigma and increase access to recovery, prevention, and mental health resources for everyone who needs them.
