The Norman Fisher Memorial Fund

As many of you know, I suddenly lost my father Norman Fisher this past Monday.  And, if you knew my dad, you'd know that he was a proud & active member of AA.  It was his 25+ years of work in AA that made him able to become a devoted & generous father, grandfather, family member and friend.  He was also a fantastic speaker & sponsor, sharing the joy of his life in recovery, and lots of heartfelt humor to reflect on how he got there.

In light of that, we have created The Norman Fisher Memorial Fund (http://www.drugfree.com/NormanFisher), which will benefit The Hope Share iniative of The Partnership at Drugfree.

Please consider giving to this important cause & spread around the news.  Pretty darn much, it's people sharing their stories in hope to inspire others, especially the young ones, to stop drinking or drugging.  As quoted from their site:

<<< By sharing your addiction and recovery stories we BREAK THROUGH the stigma and discrimination that people with drug or drinking problems face. This campaign will let young people and the families of teens and young adults who are struggling with drug and alcohol addiction know that they can share their story or show support for someone else’s story. >>>
