In this episode of the Nobody's Perfect podcast, we sit down with Miss Teen Colorado, Maddie Coombes, to discuss her inspiring and life-saving Community Service Initiative, Fentanyl Free Futures. At just 16 years old, Maddie has witnessed firsthand the devastating impact of the fentanyl crisis, with several peers and community members losing their lives. Determined to prevent further tragedy, Maddie launched her initiative to educate students, parents, and teachers about the dangers of fentanyl, a drug 100 times more potent than morphine.
Maddie shares how her work extends beyond the classroom, leveraging social media through her "Fentanyl Free Fridays" campaign to spread awareness about fentanyl’s hidden dangers. In addition to education, Maddie is working to make Narcan, a life-saving overdose reversal drug, more accessible in Colorado communities. Tune in to learn how Maddie is using her platform as Miss Teen Colorado to fight for a Fentanyl Free Future and save countless lives through education, advocacy, and action!
