People from across the nation will come together this September to walk in support of raising awareness about the fentanyl crisis. Surprisingly, the man behind this movement doesn’t have a personal connection to the epidemic. Instead, his mission was sparked when he ran through a town grappling with the opioid crisis and felt compelled to make a difference.
In this episode of Grieving Out Loud, hear from the founder of United Against Fentanyl and learn how he hopes to unite Americans—Republicans and Democrats alike—in the fight against this devastating epidemic.
You can sign up to coordinate a walk or find an existing event on United Against Fentanyl’s website.
