Join us on Saturday, June 17, 2023, to celebrate Teddy’s 31st birthday. The day will start with a walk along Forbidden Drive followed by live music at The Cedars House Cafe.

Teddy shined his light on all of us - through music, yoga, recovery, friendship - the list goes on as he still continues to guide many of us today. It's our turn to shine our light - to light up this world for our dear friend, Ted. 

Teddy was taken from this life too soon, but the wisdom he shared with all us lives on - forever. 

Our hope, through this walk, the foundation, and future events, is to shine light on the shame, fear, isolation that comes along with mental health disorders, specifically substance use disorder. In 2021, 100,000 lives were lost to drug overdoses, with fentanyl overdose being the leading cause of death for adults 18-45 years old.

The walk will start at 9AM, so please plan to be at Forbidden Drive between 8:15-8:30AM to sign in.
