There's such a misconception around addiction - these are all just outlets for an emptiness within, they're not the core of the problem. My goal is to try and help people understand that in a broader way. And it's about remembering the people I've loved and lost. I want Eternity to be a real movement that helps all kinds of people. I want it to reach everyone I can.

I chose to do an Eternity [bracelet] charm because I believe when you lose someone the love and connection you had with them is never truly gone, although they physically are. When someone dies your love for them lives on forever. "Their love was sealed for eternity".

I have experienced first-hand that mental health and problems with addiction are the epidemic of my generation. I feel compelled to give back to those who I have loved and lost and help make a difference for those still suffering.
