What others have to say about the power of Dave & Christi's story:
"I'm sure you get this often, so I'm not sure if you'll even see this, but I wanted to reach out anyway and say thank you. I attended your presentation last year and it really reached home for me. I have been struggling with mental health issues for the majority of my adult life. I have been on different medications and have had different varying periods of highs and lows. When I saw your presentation, I was at one of my lowest lows. I contemplated suicide daily and felt completely hopeless. I'd always heard of different programs for depression, but never really looked into them or really even considered them. Until I heard Dave talk about the one he completed. That helped me realize that it may be time for me to look into completing one too. So, with the help of my ***, we looked into a program, and I can proudly say I completed the program in December and am feeling a lot better and a lot less hopeless. So, thank you for what you do. You saved my life."

“We had a chance to have Christi & Dave speak at our 100 Miles 4 Hope benefit that we do annually for all first responders and military in our rural area. Anytime I plan something like this, I am a little nervous. Little did I know, I had no reason to be nervous as their presentation was amazing, their story was so powerful (you could have heard a pin drop as the crowd was so into hearing their story), and I believe many in the room could relate. I spoke with several people after our event and they were just so amazed with the honesty that Christi & Dave shared, and I think several of them realized they were not alone. We need more people like them...to be honest, to be real, and to just let us all know that it is okay to not be okay and ask for help! I am hoping to get them back in our area real soon!"
