 TAKE THE RECOVERY CHALLENGE!
Post A Video Or Make A Donation To Support Recovery
The Recovery Challenge is to post a short video (two minutes or less) on social media explaining how recovery has changed your life and pass the challenge on to at least four other people. If you cannot make a video then make a donation to Recovery Walks 2014! You have 24 hours to take the challenge. Use hashtags #recoverywalkschallenge and #RecoveryWalks2014. Watch the video that started the Recovery Challenge from PRO-ACT's own Sean Brinda.
Everyone has a story about recovery! A person in recovery, a family member or friend. Neighbors, Teachers, Parents, Coaches, Pastors, Counselors, Law Enforcement, Pubic Officials - anyone who has seen the problems caused by substance use and mental health problems, and wants to raise awareness about the reality of recovery, health and wellness in our communities.
Accept the challenge and together we will reduce stigma, fight discrimination and show the world the Power and Hope of Recovery.
