On March 17th I'll be attempting to complete a 24 hour effort on skis to raise funds for Aspen Strong, a non-profit that promotes access to mental health in the Roaring Fork Valley.
Want to join me in making a difference? Give a little bit to Aspen Strong, any donation will help make an impact by promoting better access to mental health treatment in the Roaring Fork Valley. Check the link in the bio.
Addiction, depression, and disordered eating have simply gotten the best of me at times; leaving me helpless, broken and suicidal. If it weren’t for me stumbling into the world of endurance sports I am honestly not sure I would have come out the other side of my afflictions alive.
I hope that my effort can play some small part in eroding the stigma around mental illness. The same characteristics that make me prone to mental health issues also allow me to excel in other areas of my life. Acknowledging and addressing our defects does not makes us weak, rather, it is in fighting these demons that we truly become strong. .
