Scott's story
That wait led Scott to a decision: he would do anything he could to make sure kids in his community had access to mental health support when they needed it. He started small, saving spare change, and has since grown his Change 4 Change fundraiser into a decade-long effort that's raised more than $40,000 for kids' mental health at WRHN.
