In March 2018, I made the decision to blow the whistle on decades of sexual abuse committed by Dr. Richard Strauss at The Ohio State University.
That decision changed my life.
Since then, I have invested hundreds of hours — and significant personal financial resources — advocating for Survivors, organizing former athletes, speaking with media, coordinating rallies, and demanding accountability from one of the most powerful public universities in the country.
We - the Survivors - are fighting every single day to hold The University accountable.
In December 2025, our Survivors group became the first to publicly call out Leslie Wexner for his undisputed ties to Jeffrey Epstein and the broader network of abuse connected to power and privilege. We refuse to stay silent. We refuse to just go away.
This fight has become a full time effort and life changing cause — organizing Survivors, planning peaceful rallies, coordinating media outreach, and pushing for transparency and accountability. But advocacy at this level comes with real costs. Your support will help fund:
● TIME - required to organize and advocate full-time.
● MATERIALS - for protests and rallies: signage, apparel, flyers, etc.
● ENGAGEMENT - outreach efforts to find and engage more Survivors.
● TRAVEL/LOGISTICS - expenses tied to major media interviews & lodging.
● ADMINISTRATIVE - operational expenses to sustain this movement.
I have carried this fight forward for nearly eight years because it is the right thing to do. It has not been an easy road for my family and fellow Survivors.
● If you believe Survivors deserve justice...
● If you believe Institutions must be held accountable... If you believe truth matters more than power...STAND WITH US. Support Our Fight. HELP US FINISH what we started...
PLEASE DONATE NOW.
