We are just 3 days away from Chip's 88k Trail Marathon!! Chip is running to spread awareness of Substance Use Disorder (SUD), in honor of his son Michael who lost his life to SUD in July 2020. Chip is vigilantly working on raising $20,000 for the Turning Point Center of Addison County (TPCAC), a place where Michael felt comfortable and connected within the recovery community.
Turning Point offers Peer Guided Enhancement Of Recovery, focusing on Cultivating Hope, Support, and Success. As TPCAC continues to grow, as the needs for recovery support increase, they have found their existing space to be very limited and are looking to expand their services by moving into the old St. Mary's Elementary School on Shannon St in Middlebury.
Together, Chip & TPCAC, have reached the half way mark of their fundraising goal and are just a tad over $10,000! We need your support in making it to Chip's $20,000 goal!
