Ready to take a step towards change and support a movement that saves lives? A powerful new community event is set to take place in Saint Cloud, FL, as Taniel’s Trek: A Journey Towards Awareness and Healing launches its inaugural overdose awareness walk on August 30, 2025, at Marina Lakefront Park. Drug overdoses continue to claim thousands of lives each year, yet addiction remains a topic often cloaked in shame and misunderstanding. Created in memory of Taniel, a beloved individual whose life was tragically cut short by a drug overdose in 2022, this event seeks to bring people together to honor the lives lost to addiction and to inspire hope, healing, and meaningful dialogue around the ongoing overdose crisis.

By joining Taniel’s Trek, participants become part of a larger mission to foster compassion, spread awareness, and advocate for systemic changes in how society approaches addiction and recovery. The event will kick off early in the morning, with registration opening at 7:00 AM and the walk commencing at 8:00 AM. But Taniel’s Trek is more than just a walk—it’s a movement driven by compassion and a deep, personal connection to the cause. Taniel’s story represents not just one life lost but reflects the struggles faced by millions worldwide. His warmth, generosity, and unwavering empathy touched everyone who knew him, and his legacy now fuels an initiative to combat the stigma surrounding addiction and encourage greater access to recovery resources.

The Taniel’s Trek walk will include moments of reflection, allowing attendees to honor loved ones by leaving photos, notes, or names at a dedicated memorial site. A collective moment of silence will provide space for participants to grieve, remember, and stand in solidarity with those who continue to battle addiction. The day will culminate with closing remarks, recognizing the tireless efforts of volunteers, sponsors, and community members who helped bring this event to life. You may enjoy a variety of delicious food trucks offering meals and snacks for purchase to keep you energized all day. Participants will have the opportunity to share their own stories of loss and recovery, fostering a sense of unity and understanding within the community.

Taniel’s Trek: A Journey Towards Awareness and Healing is an annual event created in memory of Taniel, a man whose battle with addiction ended too soon in 2022. Through this walk, Taniel’s legacy lives on, bringing awareness to the overdose crisis and creating a compassionate, supportive community for those affected by addiction. Every step of Taniel’s Trek brings you closer to a world where healing, recovery, and understanding are within reach for all.
