Help us raise money

For participating in Run for the Mind 2018

Our story…

We are back again for Team Emangian! Help in our efforts to raise awareness and END THE STIGMA associated with mental illness. 1 in 5 people have a mental illness. Depression, anxiety, ADD, ADHD, OCD, Borderline Personality Disorder, Bi-Polar... Look around you...1 in 5. If you are reading this and are family or friends of ours, it has reached your circle. My family is the 1 in 5. We have been effected on so many levels. This is why this is so important ...we have seen first hand, the worst that can come of not seeking help. From the tragic loss almost 9 years ago, we have struggled to keep moving forward one day at a time. It has never been easy, it never will be. We will always carry that day and the loss of our loved ones with us. Though most everyone else has moved on...we, some days only tread water. The further we get from losing Betts, Tom, Ang & Tommy, the harder it is for my kids to remember the ones they loved so much. We carry them all in our heart...everyday!
