CROWDRISING SINCE: Mar 29, 2010
Stuff About Me:
ed norton did a nat geo (strange days on planet earth) about the plastic on our beaches and in our waters. i was so shocked at our flagrant disposal of this material--THAT NEVER BIODEGRADES! i want my children to see that when people work together--big things can happen. i am planning a coastal cleanup. the date is a bit up in the air. i want to make sure our efforts are helpful for the plastic issue but most importantly preventing more marinelife deaths and destruction of waters, marshes, etc. and helping with containing the catastrophe. i will post the date as soon as i know it. please join my team and lets kick some oil and plastic butt. the cause nearest and dearest to my heart though is suicide awareness and prevention. i lost my husband, David, to suicide on October 28, 2009. my wish is to make suicide a topic that doesnt provoke shame, guilt or fear. by providing education, understanding and resources to people contemplating suicide and providing resources for survivors---MAYBE we can prevent one more person from taking their life and leaving family and friends with a hole in their hearts as big as the world. it is my mission to remove the stigma associated with suicide. PLEASE help me. most suicides, according to suicide.org, are the result of an untreated mental illness......we can make a difference. if you or someone you know is thinking of hurting themselves--dont!!! we can, by leaning on each other, overcome the stresses leading to the thought of ending your life. you are not alone. i care about you, friend. everyone here on this site cares.....very much. please dont make a decision in crisis that cant be undone. it will get better. i promise.
