Song for Charlie Spreads Awareness of 'Fentapills'

On a special episode of Peachjar Extra Credit, we sat down with Ed Ternan, co-founder with wife Mary Ternan, of Song for Charlie to learn their story of the loss of their son Charlie and what Song for Charlie is doing to raise awareness about 'fentapills'.

Song for Charlie is a national family-led nonprofit charity dedicated to raising awareness about ‘fentapills’ — fake pills made of fentanyl. They partner with experts, educators, parents and other influencers to reach the most vulnerable group: young people between the ages 12-24. Their program highlights the emerging dangers of self-medication and casual drug use in the fentanyl era and encourages healthier strategies for coping with stress.

After the sudden loss of their son Charlie, Ed and Mary Ternan created Song for Charlie with one goal: to bring awareness to counterfeit prescription pills being sold online targeting young people. With your help, they can spread the word and save lives.
