Richelle Renza Life Patrol-Cocktail Party ‘09

I had the extreme pleasure of attending the Life Patrol event on August 14, 2009. I never met Richelle but through this event I feel Karen Rich and Richelle’s story has touched my life forever. It is our hope that if you didn’t make the event this time, we will see you next year. I know I will be there. I will be there supporting the movement that depression is real. It is a very very real disease. A disease that affects everyone.

Those that say that “it is all in their head” are wrong right.

Hard to believe but think about it. Even the healthiest person with pain is connected neurologically to being “in your head.” When you hurt your arm, the nerves in you arm send a message “to your head” that something is not right.

In all retrospect, we all have pain that is in “our head”. Depression is no different.

Chemical imbalances happen. Neurological imbalances happen. Depression Happens. It is all very real. Please take a moment to not criticize your love ones that are not acting “normal”. Tell them that although you do not “understand” what is going on, you do recognize that there is a REAL problem and that you are their for them. This will make a bigger impression than telling them to pull themselves together.

See you next year! Renza Life Patrol Festival Fun video with lost of smiles is on the way. Celebrate the ones that you have next to you today.
