On June 16, Fighting for Their Lives publishes. Three days earlier, we're gathering in Boston to mark it together.

This book exists so other families don't navigate what mine did alone. The launch is the same. A room of people who get it. The parent who's been the loud one in the hallway. The partner showing up at the hardest appointments. The friend who answered the late-night text. Whether you've lived it, loved someone through it, or work in the systems that shape these stories, you belong here.

This is an open event. No ticket required. Bring someone who needs to know they're not the only one.

Light bites and drinks on me. Every guest is entered into the raffle, with items donated by businesses and allies who support mental health and LGBTQIA+ communities. A reading from the book at 7:00. Conversation. The chance to celebrate something this family worked a long time for.
