I am raising money for HopeLine in honor of Suicide Awareness Month. As the ED of HopeLine, I care deeply about the work we do for many reasons. I know how mental illness impacts the individual suffering and their family members. I know the intense pain of watching someone you love battle for their life on a regular basis. I know the feeling of hopelessness and despair. I know the challenges of getting out of bed some days. And most of all, I know HopeLine's services are vital to our community. I know the work we do every day matters. I know we can help others struggling and need support to make it through the day. I am participating in this fundraiser Because I know! Join me in supporting our vital services.
