Heather’s cousin Ashley was paralyzed in the July 20, 2012 Aurora Theater Shooting. Ashley’s unborn child and 6-year-old daughter Veronica were also killed. Heather was inspired to join the foundation in 2015 after experiencing the love and compassion the community displayed at her youngest daughter’s lemonade stand fundraiser for the theater shooting memorial. For the following 3 years, she helped lead fundraising efforts for the permanent memorial, and in July of 2018, the permanent memorial ""Ascentiate"" was installed. Heather and her 7/20 Foundation board are now focused on providing support across the nation to communities who have experienced similar tragedy, through their paper crane peace project, and the foundation has grown into a resource for advice and guidance in the aftermath of other mass tragedies. She has continued to advocate for survivors' long-term needs, alongside others in the STOP coalition.

On today’s episode of Make Mental Health Matter, Kelli brings back one of her previous guests Alexandrea Diel to share her journey through recovery. Just over a year ago the courageous woman was on my show speaking about the struggle of living with Borderline Personality. She fought for her life. She didn’t want to live with the pain of the trauma from her childhood and a life of domestic violence. She left the love of her life, her home, her beloved dog who had kept her alive through the darkness. She choose to save her life. She moved back to Colorado and immediatly went into treatment. It wasn’t until 3 months later she accepted she was an addict. For 14 years she had used Meth and even though she had not been in active use for a few months she just couldn’t understand why all the therapy wasn't helping her heal. She still wanted to die. Then one day she came to believe and fully accept that she was an addict. She decided to make another major life change and seek sober living. I hope that her story will help others that are fighting for their life.

On this episode of Make Mental Health Matter Show, Kelli talks with Dana Karen (“DK”) Ciccone. She will share her journey through a decades-long battle with low back pain from a young age tied to undiagnosed anxiety and trauma. The long journey to unraveling her pain flare-ups required that she honor the needs of her nervous system and mental health.

DK is a graduate of the MSMS Advanced Movement Studies Program and is also trained in pain reprocessing therapy through the Pain Psychology Center.

After twenty years in the health sector, DK left a corporate career to follow her passion, later launching Movement Remedies, a chronic pain–focused Pilates studio and movement coaching business. Her first book, You’re Meant to Move: A Guide to Conquering Chronic Pain, Increasing Stress Resilience, and Reclaiming an Active Life, was released December 2023. DK is based in Edinburgh, Scotland.
