129 people die every day from drug overdoses in America. Our aim is to reduce that number by any means necessary.
We are a three young adults in recovery who are looking to help wherever we can. We have an event called "Get Fit 4 Recovery" scheduled for September 11th 2016 at the Philadelphia Art Museum (back steps). The event is to help promote awareness about the disease of addiction through health/fitness in Recovery (Trapstar Fitness), and also to raise funds for a non-profit organization known as Recovery Advocates of America.
Recovery Advocates of America is a 501(c)3 not for profit peer to peer center that strives to provide education around the disease of addiction, tools to sustain recovery through engagement, and reduce the stigma of addiction within our community. Our center is instrumental in our community in providing all people suffering from the disease of addiction a safe haven to get treatment options and support through all stages of their recovery. As addiction is classified as a family disease, in addition to helping the addict, we also provide tools and resources for the family in order to best recover through their own journey. For more information please visit www.recoveryadvocates.org
We believe that no deed is too small when it comes to saving our fellow brothers, sisters, mothers, fathers, friends, co-workers etc. who struggle with the disease of addiction. We hope that this one event will be the beginning of a widespread movement to help combat addiction one day at a time!
