For years opioids have been generously prescribed and gladly welcomed for their temporary relief for chronic or post-operative pain. But for too many, these drugs become addictive, creating a craving that no force of will can deny. Michael Taylor was one of those trapped and consumed by these drugs, but his family and friends are determined not to accept his loss quietly. In tandem with Shatterproof, a national organization dedicated to ending the devastation that the disease of addiction causes families, the Taylors host an annual event in Michael's honor to celebrate recovery and support legislative change to help end the stigma of addiction.
