Story

We would like to raise money for open road  as they helped look after our brother when he needed it . If they can save any ones life from the horrors of this awful drug that ruins lives . IT HAS TO BE WORTH IT. 

Vincent lost his life fighting his demons on 4th February 2017. He was 51 yrs old and had been a addict for over 20 of them . He overdosed on a number of occasions in his last days . . Always looking for the high that was never going to be there . Or maybe he was just giving into the demons he carried . We will never truly know . The demons won the battle but through it all he could always go to open road to find some one to speak to if he needed it .That has a special place in our hearts knowing there was some where he could go .  He has now put them demons to bed and will  rest in peace. 


They are all volunteer workers and that must be a very hard thing to take on . Fighting this crazy drug working tirelessly with addiction and obviously not always getting results is a job in itself . 

Please help us to help them continue there work to help other family's who go through the same thing watching day by day and piece by piece the disappearance of the true person they was and loved .
