About Shifting Gears...December 7th, 2017, every parent's worst nightmare became our reality when our fiery little redhead ended her own life. While we struggled to understand how we would survive, we know one thing for sure — we would make it our mission to educate parents and teens in an effort to keep anyone else from experiencing the pain we were left with after losing our daughter. We all have times in our lives where we find it necessary to SHIFT GEARS. For Regan Johnson, it was on the race track doing what she loved. For those of us she left behind... we find ourselves continuing to shift gears in search of our own "new normal"; trying to adjust to a life without our child. Since 2019, we have reached over 6000 students in the KC area with our #GiveMe20 workshops. Additionally, we continue to fund suicide prevention programs like Sources of Strength, an evidence based, peer led suicide prevention program, to school districts across Johnson County. We also continue to expand and maintain the the Shifting Gears Butterfly Garden; a space that instills hope and healing while connecting with nature. With your support, Shifting Gears can continue funding and developing suicide awareness and prevention initiatives throughout the area. Learn more at ShiftingGearsForRegan.com
