Dan the Man Run for Recovery is an exciting Run/Walk around beautiful Deer Path Park in Hunterdon County, NJ. This event is in honor of Daniel Snel who tragically lost his life due to an accidental overdose. The addiction epidemic has impacted just about every family in the US, in one way or another. We run/walk to show our support for those who have lost loved ones, for those in need of treatment, for those who have found recovery. The more awareness we can bring to this epidemic, the less stigma there is surrounding it.
