This year, I’ve joined Run Drugs Out of Town to support Face Addiction Now, an organization dedicated to helping individuals and families affected by substance use disorder.

I lost my daughter, Marina, at 17 - three days before her high school graduation ceremony.  She was smart, beautiful, funny, loving, kind, and incredibly talented. Life as I knew it ended the day she died.  My world revolved around her. 

Please share the dangers of street drugs with your children. Marina was not an addict.  It only takes once to end a wonderful life.
