Today’s SameHere Hero Story: Gregory Reddington In 2013 I became a soldier in the US Army Reserve. In 2014, I became a police officer. This came about right after I ended my short professional career in mixed martial arts. I had a burning desire to help my Country and Community. I felt a need to …
I think we have to accept that we have as much of an issue openly discussing WORKING on our MH, as we do openly discussing our challenges. Normalization campaigns have existed for decades now – trying to get folks to open up, be more vulnerable, & share. But what about once we do all of …
First time I spoke to @theofleury14, 4 yrs ago, I asked: Would you give up your favorite NHL goal, to save someone’s life? He’d never been asked the question before. But he immediately said back to me…& it’s stuck w me since: “I’d give up my Stanley Cup ring & Olympic Gold Medal, just to …
Have shared recently that it’s been a tough run. Loss of two friends…one from HS, one who helped me when I was at my lowest. Then the news that one of my closest friends growing up as a kid, lost his dad yesterday. Someone who was a fixture in my childhood. At times when it …
