Taniel's Trek

Mission Statement
Taniel’s Trek was created in memory of Taniel, a kind and vibrant soul who tragically lost his battle with addiction in 2022. His story is one of courage and struggle, as he sought recovery but was ultimately taken too soon by the overwhelming grip of addiction. Taniel’s life, though cut short, has inspired us to take action and raise awareness about the dangers of overdose.
The purpose of Taniel’s Trek is to honor his legacy by educating others, supporting those affected by addiction, and preventing future tragedies. Through this walk, we aim to shine a light on the overdose epidemic, reduce the stigma surrounding addiction, and provide resources for those seeking help. Together, we walk in Taniel’s memory, and for all those we’ve lost, as we journey towards a future free from overdose.

Event Overview

Taniel’s Trek: A Journey Towards Awareness and Healing is a walk dedicated to raising awareness about overdose, while serving as a heartfelt tribute to those we’ve lost to addiction. Inspired by Taniel’s story, this event brings together families, friends, and communities to honor the memories of loved ones, raise awareness about the overdose epidemic, and reduce the stigma surrounding addiction.
The inaugural walk will take place On August 30, 2025 in the City of Saint Cloud, Florida, and we hope this event will grow each year, both in size and impact, eventually expanding to other communities across the country. By walking together, we not only remember those we’ve lost but also work toward creating a future where overdose tragedies are prevented.
All proceeds will support overdose prevention efforts and local addiction recovery resources, with the vision of making Taniel’s Trek a lasting movement for change.
