Where I Stand

Andrew Lewis Middle School

October 27 2012

Roanoke VA

First - we are raising awareness. Empowering ourselves and each other to realize that it's not only okay to be different - but healthy. Next  we are educating people on what this illness is to release shame, so those who struggle need not hide in secret but are able to ask for help. We are also raising money to help fight this disorder with treatment for those who need it. But most importantly this event was created to radiate hope - that prevention is possible and recovery is reachable. HOPE is where the heart is.

That is Where I Stand Roanoke Valley.

3 Dance Studios. Valley Dance Productions. Southwest Virginia Ballet and Halestone Dance Studio will preform throughout the evening as speakers with varying experiences break the silence and share with you the Hope that is in recovery.
