00:00Pero sometimes tragedy begets tragedy.

00:04En 2020, Dac's brother Jace,

00:07the rock at Peggy's side for her painful descent,

00:10took his own life.

00:15You can't even put in words the burden.

00:19I mean, it's something only Jace knew.

00:21He didn't know how to share it.

00:22He didn't know how to be vulnerable about it.

00:25A difficult truth was laid bare for Dac,

00:27but he shared his pain,

00:31telling all who would listen

00:32that being vulnerable is okay.

00:36Our adversity, our struggles, what we go through

00:39is always going to be too much for ourselves

00:41and maybe too much for even one or two people,

00:43but never, never too much for a community,

00:47for the people and the family that you love.

00:49I've made a promise that his life

00:51will be one taken to save millions.

00:53Starting in July, there will be a new three-digit number

00:55for the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline.

00:58Our curriculum encourages adults

00:59to reach out to young people

01:01struggling with their mental health.

01:02One man helping many turn difficult pages

01:05and add chapters to their lives,

01:09telling those who carry unbelievable burdens,

01:12let me be your story.

01:15Not holding those feelings in,

01:16I think it's huge.

01:17I think it's huge to talk.

01:18I think it's huge to get help.

01:19And it saves lives.

01:23I'm just showing people how to express their adversity

01:26to be allowed to become their strength.

01:29I know my mom, it's what she would want.
