September is suicide awareness month. I don\u2019t know many people who haven\u2019t been touched in some way by this tragedy.<\/p>\n

I recently attended a concert by talented acoustic punk folk musician and songwriter Dave Hause to benefit the American Association of Suicidology\u2019s<\/a> \u201cMake an Impact.\u201d<\/p>\n

After Dave\u2019s performance, AAS awarded Kendall Toole, spokesperson for Peloton, for using her platform to bring awareness to this critical issue and to encourage anyone contemplating suicide to get help. Kendall gave a short but inspiring and uplifting talk that I felt needed amplifying, which I\u2019m sharing here via Raw Travel’s Instagram<\/a> page in the video link<\/a>.<\/p>\n

While I didn\u2019t have the opportunity to meet Dave, I was rewarded by conversing briefly with Kendall, and we discussed how travel can help people come out of severe depression.<\/p>\n

Kendall is doing much good with her platform with the \u201cNever Knocked Out\u201d initiative. I salute her and the AAS for truly \u201cmaking an impact.\u201d<\/p>\n
