(Grayson’s handwritten notes, July 24, 2021)
The Grayson Murray Foundation was founded by Eric and Terry Murray after the heartbreaking loss of their son, Grayson, who sadly took his own life. The Foundation was born from the urgent need for greater awareness and support around mental health and addiction, as well as a commitment to funding innovative services and research.
Grayson envisioned creating a foundation dedicated to “helping the ones that want to be helped but might not have the help they need financially.” In his memory, his family channeled their overwhelming grief into a mission to improve the lives of individuals facing mental health and addiction challenges.
Through the Grayson Murray Foundation, they strive to fulfill Grayson’s vision by ensuring support is accessible to those in need and seeking help.
