Born from the heartbreaking loss of my son Marcus to fentanyl poisoning, Shadows2Strength emerged from the depths of grief as a mission of purpose and hope. What began as Shadows of Grief—a journey through loss and faith—has grown into a movement dedicated to helping others step out of their own shadows of pain and into strength.
Through grief journeys, community outreach, and life-saving CPR and First Aid training, Shadows2Strength empowers families to be prepared to respond in times of emergency while finding healing, resilience, and renewed purpose along the way. We turn pain into passion, and loss into lasting impact—building stronger hearts, stronger families, and stronger communities.
