Rogers InHealth Wears Lime Green Shoes in Support of Brandon Marshall's Recent Decision

Like Marshall, Rogers InHealth Seeks to Make a Difference for Those Living with Mental Illness

Directors and friends of Rogers InHealth recently stepped out in lime green shoes to send a message of support to Brandon Marshall, the Chicago Bears wide receiver who was fined $10,500 for wearing lime green shoes last month. In light of last night’s Bears/Packers game, the move seemed especially timely.

Marshall is an example of someone who is successfully living in recovery from borderline personality disorder,” Sue McKenzie, co-director of Rogers InHealth, said. “He wore lime green shoes to draw attention to Mental Illness Awareness Week last month. Even knowing he’d be fined was not a deterrent. We feel that took courage, and we celebrate his decision. So, too, Rogers InHealth does its part to reduce the stigma of mental illness through shared video stories of those living in recovery. We want people to know recovery is possible through accessible, coordinated and person-centered care.”
