My family Thanksgiving memories are wonderful, but not holidays ca n be stressful for people dealing with mental health issues or substance/alcohol use. I am participating in LSSI's Pumpkin Pie Fun Run to help raise awareness for the need for mental health services in Illinois. I will be walking a total distance of 10K (two 5K walks) over the Thanksgiving holiday (along with my regular daily steps). My goal is to raise $250 to support LSSIs mental health services, including counseling for families and children, therapeutic foster care, drug and alcohol treatment for youth and adults, emergency mental health treatment and more. Please help me reach my goal my making a gift. Every dollar matters! Thank you so much for your generosity.
