Our first speaker will be Stacy Brooks, local author of "Her Message in a Bottle," a story of addiction and resilience. Our second speaker is Dawn Brickhouse who has been a probation officer in Dare County and has been in law enforcement for 21 years.

Our keynote speaker is Jason West who will share his story from active addiction to recovery. After Jason speaks. we will begin our "walk" through the parking lots of first flight schools (approximately 1 mile) and back to the high school parking lot where we will enjoy free hamburgers and hot dogs!
