Running the Berlin Marathon for Herren Project
Tax deductible
I am raising money to benefit The Herren Project by Running the 2019 Berlin Marathon together with my sister Caitlin Dolkart and a team of volunteers each seeking to raise $2500 per person.
Nearly every family has been affected by substance abuse. We are running as family members and in support of families worldwide as evidence of what families, teamwork and the human spirit can accomplish. Thank you for reading this and any donation large or small will help make an impact.
We very much appreciate your contribution to this cause that means so much to us. As we are not unfortunately fast enough to qualify based on finishing time, this presents a very worthy alternative. The story of Chris Herren has been featured in the ESPN documentary "Unguarded" and Chris Herren frequently speaks publicly about his path to sobriety and charitable work on CNN, in TedX Talks, and more.
I encourage you to Google Search "Chris Herren" and learn more about his amazing life story. Fair warning you may spend the next hour reading about him and watching videos on YouTube as I did. More information about The Herren Project:
The mission of The Herren Project is to provide assistance in taking the first steps toward recovery and a life of sobriety, educational programs, and resources to increase awareness on the signs of addiction and bring hope for a better tomorrow.
Herren Project treatment navigation & recovery includes five areas of support for individuals and families. These areas include: treatment navigation into a facility for those struggling with addiction, assistance with aftercare planning and support upon completion of a treatment program, a recovery housing scholarship program for those in need of a recovery residence, recovery coaching, and guidance and support for family members and loved ones.
In 2017 Herren Project treatment team assisted over 550 individuals and families. The recovery housing scholarship program was expanded, allowing increased access to programs vital to maintaining early sobriety and taking a step forward in their journey of recovery. Our Give A Bed program was launched, providing much-needed scholarships to in-patient treatment program beds and the online virtual support group offerings grew to include family and grief support.
