Bernardo Villas Bôas - NYC Marathon with Partners for Hope

Bernardo Villas Bôas

Bernardo Villas Bôas

Thank you for visiting my fundraising page!

As I embark on the training for my first ever full marathon, I need your support and your encouragement to make this dream come true.

Running this marathon is not just about crossing a finish line. More than a mental and physical test, this journey into long-distance running comes from my personal commitment to advocate against substance abuse and it's impact on the body and mind. Addiction has been a part of my family's history, and I have witnessed firsthand the devastating effects it can have on relationships, careers and lives. By realizing the impact it has had on my family and my own well-being, I am thrilled to be part of the 2024 athlete's team for Partners for Hope and committed to fund raise for this important cause.

However, I cannot embark on this journey alone. I need your help and generosity to get there.

By contributing to my fundraising efforts, you will be supporting the nation’s largest nonprofit organization committed to helping families struggling with their love one’s substance use. With decades of experience in research, direct services, communications and partnership-building, Partners for Hope is focused on transforming how the US addresses addiction.

The organization is a diverse community of compassionate parents, clinicians, advocates, researchers and more – collaborating together to bring forth free customized services and support based in science and compassion.

This work matters more than ever, because:
 
  • Every day in the US, 275 people died from a drug overdose from March 2020 and April 2021
  • 1 in 2 Americans report having a family member or close friend with addiction.
  • More than 20 million Americans are in need of addiction treatment or are in recovery
  • Less than 2 out of 10 people who need addiction treatment received any care at all in 2019
  • More than 9 out of 10 people struggling with addiction first tried substances before the age of 18

Your contribution to Partners for Hope will provide the funds to connect with parents seeking support, provide substance use coaching and support, train prevention professional to deliver community education on addressing substance abuse and support the scientific research for better services and support against addiction.

Thank you for believing in me and for being a part of the fight against addiction.
