Help Dixie raise money

My husband, Jamie Schantz and I belong to an exclusive club which no one ever wants to join.  The club is made up of those parents who have lost a child from suicide.  Losing our daughter Lexi to suicide has been difficult.  Very difficult.  You get to know a type of pain that reverberates through your soul.  Over time that echo softens, but it still remains.  Sometimes softly, sometimes crashing.  A symphony of emotions.

For me losing Lexi has allowed me to become more empathetic to those suffering from mental illness and those who suffer grief.  Perhaps I can be of help having gone through the experience myself.  I want to.  I try.  Hopefully a glimmer of hope emerges.

We as a community and a nation must come to grips with this issue.  It will take a multi-dimensional approach.  Help me support efforts here in Cherokee County to prevent suicide by making a donation, becoming a Virtual Runner or sign up and walk or run with me this Labor Day.
