Hi! I'm Sharon LeGore. I'm a mom and a family advocate on substance abuse issues. I started Moms Tell which is a parent advocacy organization and you can locate that at momstell.org or momstell.com. I'm also a family involvement consultant for the Center for Substance Abuse Treatment in Washington and I also co-chair the National Family Dialogue for Youth with Substance Use Disorders. I hail from the great State of Pennsylvania. I have four children and I'm the proud grandmother of seven. Some of the things I like to do, I love to read and learn and travel but the one thing I like to do most is to fish and you can ask the marlin who is at home sitting on my wall about our adventures.
