From Ashes to Life Walk

The From Ashes to Life Fentanyl Awareness Walk is more than a walk—it is a movement to bring hope out of heartbreak. Hosted by the Drue Isaac Foundation, this community event brings together families, friends, recovery advocates, first responders, treatment professionals, faith communities, and local organizations to honor those we have lost to fentanyl poisoning while working to prevent future tragedies.
Every step taken represents a life remembered, a family supported, and a commitment to educating our communities about the dangers of fentanyl. Together, we can reduce stigma, promote prevention, support recovery, and remind those who are struggling that there is always hope.
