GTD Go The Distance

Another Sunday, another powerful reminder of what community can do.

It’s about connection, support, and showing up for each other week after week.

Grateful for every single person who came out today. 💛

Our friends at .portland had a gala and Lance made sure we were there for the third year in a row! It was an amazing event with paddles being raised so fast it was incredible to see the support. The party started and ended right on time for the added plus!
We hope to take GTD to CityTeam soon, what do you say Lance?!?! 😊 We love you buddy. Thanks for inviting us.

“Here today, here tomorrow.”

Grateful to celebrate the continued success of .inc Health and Recovery at their 2026 Annual Luncheon. Big snaps to Pat Janowski for bringing together such a meaningful and energizing event.

There was something special about the room, an ease, a simplicity, and a shared purpose that reminded all of us why this work matters. It was a quick gathering, but powerful in its focus on gratitude, progress, and the lives being changed every day.

Always great to reconnect with friends and partners, including our swooshing star Stacie Andoniadis from CareOregon, along with Kevin Mahon and Alison Noice, some of the kindest, most supportive people you’ll ever meet.

Thank you for having us.

123 GTD and CODA!

And to Deena Feldes, thank you for your friendship.

We celebrated one of our GTD graduates today with the DT1 Scholarship 💚
Daniel received $250 toward his “Dress for Success” as he steps into a new job, and we couldn’t be more proud. This is what it’s all about.
Also, shoutout to some runners visiting from Los Angeles who found us on Google and showed up to run with us which is pretty amazing.
Thank you to everyone who supports what we’re building. 🙏

Happy Easter 🐇🐣💕 Today, we had a good time in this beautiful Portland weather. We shared about how we hang on through the hard times. Practicing patience and celebrating our love for each other. It’s a great day to be sober and outside getting exercise.

Another super exciting run club hosted by Seth at Foot Traffic. Upstairs from Foot Traffic (NW 23rd and Kearney) is . TJ and I went up there and met C**t, and we asked for some hip bags for our Narcan and first aid kits for our run leaders and he said yes, I’d love to help. Boom! Then we met the awesome people at . Devin introduced us to the most delicious energy drinks, energy chews, and the best chocolate post run drink ever. We must get some more of that! We hope to bring them to our 5k summer series runs this summer! Then our fabulous Eliza was there giving us the opportunity to test the new On Monster 3. Love them and her! Thank you Eliza. Seth is the man that gives his everything to create fun runs in our community. ❤️Seth❤️ A big shout out to Z, Dawn, Cassie, TJ, and Izzy (me) for showing up. It was fun. We met some new friends and saw some that we are beginning to know. Thanks again everyone for everything tonight. GTD loves building these relationships, we are here for you too.

Award packages for Tomorrow and Tuesday. A lot of work goes into making these packages, but even more work goes to the people that are earning them. The awardees have entered treatment, been brought back to life and we at GTD get to witness the transformation before our very eyes. It’s the most rewarding part of our jobs. Inspirational!

Just dropped something special!

Our new Alpine Green GTD hoodies are officially live on the website.

We only ordered 50 total… and 5 are already gone.

Not trying to hype it up more than it is, but these will sell out. If you’ve been wanting one, now’s the time.

Clean color. Simple. Get one, or two, or three today!

Grab yours at: www.gtdgothedistance.org

Thank you for the support!

Thanks, Deena, for volunteering at Coda Beaverton today. The women loved having Deena there to walk with and get to know. Inspiring women in recovery need inspiring women in recovery. We all do! It was an awesome day, and we all had a lot of fun getting to know each other.
Deena is the Executive Director of Transcending Hope Recovery Homes. They have 31 recovery homes across the tri-county area. Deena is also one of GTD’s community partners! Thanks, Deena, for your support of our recovery community. You are the real deal!

Sundays with GTD. Today we joined the masses or rather, they joined us to share the beautiful cherry blossoms at the waterfront today.

Another week, another group of incredible humans stepping into a new chapter

We’re proud to celebrate the individuals who committed to the process, showed up consistently, and crossed the finish line with us last week.

Your hard work doesn’t go unnoticed. This is just the beginning.
