"Why do you feel the need to change who you are on a Friday and Saturday night?"

"Chris Herren is man in long-term recovery from alcohol and other drugs since August of 2008. 

Chris was a high school basketball legend from Fall River, Massachusetts, who realized his lifelong dream of playing in the NBA when he was drafted by the Denver Nuggets in 1999 and then was traded to his hometown team, the Boston Celtics in 2000. 

Chris struggled with substance use for much of his basketball career, but now in recovery has courageously chosen to share his harrowing story of addiction and recovery."

Facing Addiction: "When there is hope in the mix, anything is possible!"

Steven Tyler will not only be joining us on stage to perform at the historic rally on October 4th, but he has graciously allowed UNITE to Face Addiction to use the iconic song "Dream On" in a new event trailer released today.   We are just over a month away from the rally and it is time for all of us to begin to "Dream On" about what it will feel like to stand shoulder to shoulder with tens of thousands of people on the National Mall in Washington, DC to finally address the most pressing health crisis of our time.
