Mike's 5K to Crush Substance Abuse

Dear Friends and Family,
I am one of the committee members organizing a 5K walk/run in Milton on October 21, 2017 at 10 a.m. honoring my great friend, Mike Mulcahy, who died of substance abuse on December 1, 2016. The proceeds of the 5K will be split evenly between Milton Substance Abuse Prevention Coalition and the Gavin Foundation located at 675 East 4th Street in South Boston.
The Milton Substance Abuse Prevention Coalition was founded in 2014 to address substance abuse challenges in the town of Milton. The Coalition has a special emphasis on prevention programs for youth in the town and counts many teens among its membership. The Coalition is sponsored by the Milton Public Health Department.
The Gavin Foundation is a multi-service nonprofit agency providing comprehensive, community-based substance abuse treatment, education, and prevention programs. They serve more than 5,000 individuals each year through their adult, youth and community programs. The Gavin Foundation works from a deep commitment to the community, including the widespread community of individuals and families in recovery. It is considered the gold standard of halfway houses for recovering addicts. Mike was a resident at the Gavin Foundation and was at peace while living there with the education, support and love that he received.

I think that is safe to say that we all know someone who had or has a substance abuse problem. We are trying in a small way to support the prevention of this addiction through education and to support the Gavin's Foundation treatment plan for recovering addicts. I am asking for your help with our efforts.

Thank you so much for any support that you offer to help us make MIKE’S 5K a success. It is much appreciated. I look forward to seeing you at MIKE’S 5K; it will be a fun event for a worthy cause.

Much Love and Appreciation,
Brenda McDonough
