Our family is hosting a run/walk this year to celebrate the life of our dear son and brother, Timothy Smith. As many of you know, our beloved Tim passed away in January of 2015 due to a drug overdose after struggling with addiction and anxiety for many years. Tim was and is still so well-loved by many people. Through the years of Tim’s struggle, it became clear to us that addiction is a disease that is often met with isolation, stigma, and shame. We hope this run/walk will raise awareness of and encourage people to be vocal about their struggles, to ask for help when they need it, and to know that they are not alone.
