The Zane James Charity Ride

Power Forward Utah is committed to changing outcomes for those struggling with this deadly disease by breaking the stigma of Substance Use Disorder. There is life after SUD and freedom from the cycle of relapse when individuals, families and communities have access to resources that allow people to recover with dignity and live a full life in recovery.

Erica and Power Forward Utah are teaming up to raise $10,000 for Sober Living and Lifestyle Scholarships!

One of the most challenging barriers to overcoming addiction in the community is the stigma associated with it. Research shows that stigma, any negative attitude, or prejudice, can be damaging to the health and well-being of people with substance use disorders (SUD). This ride is to help fight that stigma and educate the community on SUDs. All proceeds will benefit individuals in recovery. Erica is a social worker based in Salt Lake City, UT. She works at First Step House, a nonprofit helping those in recovery from SUD and/or mental illnesses.       I believe in the power of community and advocacy. Negative stigma can be damaging to a person's recovery. My hope for this ride is to fight that stigma and educate the community on SUD.                                                                   –Substance Use Disorder is not a personal failing, it is a DISEASE. One that can, and SHOULD, be treated like any other.
