I’m all packed and traveling to Boston for my first Walk event with Shatterproof. The second walk in our national Shatterproof Walk to End Addiction Stigma series, our Boston event will bring together hundreds of participants, sponsors and volunteers who believe in brighter future - a future free of stigma and shame; a future where everyone facing substance use disorder has access to proven, evidence-based treatment; a future where no more lives are lost to this treatable disease. I believe in this future and am excited to help build it alongside the amazing humans participating in Shatterproof Walks. Let’s do this! 💜💙🩵 #shatterproof #sud #substanceusedisorder #recovery
