My mom and I are training to run the NYC marathon to raise money for Partnership to End Addiction, a charity organization whose mission is important to us.  Substance use and addiction affects more than 20 million Americans, yet it is often a silent struggle, mired by stigma.  Addiction does not discriminate – it hits people from all walks of life.    The road to recovery can be long and hard, which my mom and I will keep in mind with each of the 26 miles we run, especially in those hard miles at the end.
Partnership to End Addiction is the top organization in the U.S. dedicated to addiction prevention, treatment and recovery.  Please consider supporting us and this important cause!
