“Do It For Dan -A Team Thrive After Party”

Team Thrive celebrates the connection between physical and mental health. Team Thrive is inspired by Dan Hohs, a versatile athlete who found wellness through competitive endurance sports. Dan Hohs was a beacon of hope and positivity who found balance and control over his challenges with bipolar disorder through physical endeavors.

In 2014, Dan began working with HFTD to develop Team Thrive, programming that expressed the empowering connections between healthy bodies supporting healthy minds. Dan aspired to share his experiences and passion for physical activity to challenge stigma as well as offer encouragement and inspiration to others.

On October 7, 2017, Dan Hohs was out doing what he loved, being active in nature, hiking trails in Golden, Colorado, when a rattlesnake bit him. Dan tragically succumbed to his wounds. Dan had an illuminating nature and an uncanny ability to inspire others. This gift empowered others to not only seek personal accomplishment but also strive to be an agent of impact in their communities.

A perfect example of that inspiration is Sarah Moss, a close friend and mentor of Dan who has stepped up to be Team Thrive’s torchbearer. Dan was such a big part of Sarah’s life as he provided encouragement during training and support in everyday life. They traveled together for races and supported each other on whatever adventure they were to tackle, and now Sarah carries Dan’s spirit into rallying others to join Team Thrive and share HFTD’s proactive prevention message. She is honored to be Team Thrive’s ambassador with a commitment to utilize her endeavors as a platform for outreach, education, and activism!

This event is a commemoration of Dan’s passing and a celebration of the program he helped usher into being and the ongoing legacy he maintains as Team Thrive carries forward educating and inspiring others!
