Help Tara raise money

People ask me why I am so passionate about the mental health sector and suicide prevention. When I was in my early 20's I was diagnosed with panic disorder, OCD and agoraphobia. These were the darkest and most debilitating days of my life. I was constantly afraid, had little hope for the future, lost friends, and didn't see a way out.

BUT, I consider myself one of the lucky ones. I had amazing supports in place. I has a family that never let me give up; even when I had written myself off. Once diagnosed, I had an amazing my medical team that taught me that "I wasn't crazy" but I just have a medical condition. Like any other medical condition such as asthma or diabetes.   

It was a lot of hard work but I pulled myself out of that darkness and with love, therapy and medication, I was able to get my old life back and move forward. I walk and share my story for all of those people that do not have supports and resources in place to help them in their darkness. 

I walk to raise funds for DCGT, whose dedicated volunteers are here to normalize the mental health journey, reduce stigma and be the light in darkness of our community. Please support my efforts and the efforts of DCGT by donating today or registering to walk and help raise funds. 

Together we can raise awareness, reduce stigma and listen to those that need us.
