She considers being married for 35 years so far, one of the greatest achievements of her life. Being a stay-at-home mom for many years, until her children approached adulthood, is something that was incredibly meaningful and fulfilling. Her family is her priority. Although struggling with mental illness and traumatic brain injury makes achieving some goals difficult for her, she is a tenacious fighter and does not give up. As an employee of the National Alliance on Mental Illness, Colorado, Dawn was presented the "Giraffe Award" which is an award given annually to an individual that "sticks their neck out." This award acknowledges that with courage and determination, she increased mental illness awareness and reduced stigma by expressing herself in the media and by giving presentations to groups.
