Ultra Marathon Fundraiser for Peter's Place
From 1999-2016, the number of Opiod-related over deaths rose from 483-1,947 (Illinois alone). From 2012-2016, the number of Heroin related deaths rose from 269-1,040. During that same time frame, the number of Synthetic Opioid related deaths rose from 84-907.
If these stats alarm you, please consider donating to Peter's Place Foundation. Peter's Place is a Non-Denominational Christ-Centered ministry aimed at providing free long-term residential support for young men (ages 18-28) who struggle with substance abuse and/or mental illness.
Right now, in Southern Illinois, there are very few resources available to help those in need. Board members Eugene Dunkley and Jeff Morris, on 11/9/19, ran the 2019 Tunnel Hill 50/100 Mile Ultra Marathon in Vienna, Illinois. They would love your prayers, encouragement and financial support as they continue to seek to raise money and awareness for Peter's Place Foundation.
