The Terminator Run for Youth Addiction Awareness is an annual, non-competitive charity run that has been bringing HOPE, raising awareness and funds for Addiction & Mental Health for 9 years!
All funds raised in support of the Terminator Run for Youth Addiction Awareness go towards assisting the Terminator Foundation to transform lives through their Activity-Based Recovery Therapy Program (ABRT) for those individuals impacted by addiction and mental health challenges.
For more information about how we transform lives please visit our website http://www.terminatorfoundation.com.
The first run took place in 2015 with the intention to shine a light on a taboo and progressing issue; youth addiction & mental health. An issue no one wanted to discuss and no parent wanted to admit they had. With fierce determination, Vanisha Breault chose to shine that light on herself and her families struggle, she openly spoke about the impact, shame, and isolation that herself and her family experienced due to her then teenage daughters drug addiction with fentanyl, meth and heroin. Vanisha’s sole purpose for the run for youth addiction, was to raise awareness, inspire change, and encourage families, loved ones that were burdened with this issue to have hope and know that they’re not alone.
Today, the charity organization Terminator Foundation’s mission is to harness the transformative power of activity-based therapy and shatter perceived limits. By nurturing self-efficacy and self-actualization, we kindle a flame of hope, eradicating despair and igniting unyielding belief. Every day, we inspire a resolute commitment to choosing the path of mental health and addiction recovery, forging a lasting journey of profound healing and wholeness. The Truth is You Can Recover.
