Gentlemen, some on here may recall that eating disorders took my daughter in October 2016. My mental make up is such that the crushing grief manifested itself in a certain way. I have become a bit of a loose cannon, madman (so to speak) in the eating disorder community. Helping kids get into treatment. Fighting insurance companies. Writing frequent articles on the industry. Suing the National Eating Disorder Association for fraud. Along the way, I have collaborated with quite a few and have made some wonderful connections.
So, these connections and collaborations are coming together this upcoming Saturday, Sept. 11. On the 20th commemoration of 9/11, we are hosting a mental health resource fair in Addison. But, the event will have more of a "Morning in Central Park" vibe to it. The Revelers Hall Band is giving a free concert (N'awlins type jazz band), power yoga, fishing in Prestonwood Pond, games and oh yes... about 40 mental health resource tables. The Addison Fire Department is going to send an apparatus after their event concludes. The idea is to get people to come out, have some fun and oh by the way, if anyone is curious, there will be many resources and people who can help right there.
So, come one come all.
And, if we can even help one person, one person in need ... then, is there anything better in life than that?
And, we are still looking for volunteers to help set up exhibitor's tables and chairs early Saturday and break them down after the event. For those who can help, we will throw in an invitation to come to the VIP event on Friday night. Homemade Texas Bar-B-Q, a different jazz band, adult libations. Also, a military vet who was stationed at Andrews AFB on 9/11 is going to say a few words about what it was like that day at Andrews.
And afterwards ... you will be home in time to watch us pound the Hogs into mulch.
