Georgie is on a mission to change the face of mental health!

Georgie wants you to know that he is joyful, silly, and fun on the outside, but sometimes he can barely keep himself afloat on the inside.

Georgie wants you to know that he always tries to brighten your day because he sometimes cannot brighten his own day.

Georgie wants you to know that his call for help is not dark or mad, loud or obvious. It sometimes comes in the form of "I'm so sorry," when the world sees him as perfect.

Georgie was created by a beautiful boy who brought light, love, laughter to everyone. A boy who was going to change the world with his ideas, his smile, his duckies, like Georgie. He lost his battle with mental health at only seventeen years old.

Georgie wants to race around the world touching every smiling, bright, amazing life. Georgie wants you to start the conversation with those who are like him...joyful, helpful, successful, fun AND hurting, sad, depressed, and unable to express what they hold inside.

Waves of grief carry with them everything in their path. I miss that smile, that excitement, that laugh, that love, that good. I suppose I just hope that Zac's light shines through, catches on everyone who reads this, and you find a greater empathy or understanding in your own life to share with someone who needs it..... You could be the difference. 💛 ♥️ #bethelight #georgiewantsyoutoknow

Georgie's Rubber Duckie Crew will be participating the Denver Metro American Foundation for Suicide Prevention event on Saturday, Out of the Darkness Walk. We will walk in honor of our sweet Zac. 🦆 #ootdwalks #georgiewantsyoutoknow #outofthedarkness
