Nick Danforth

Nick Danforth and Bryana Longley are the driving forces behind Pain to Power Suicide Awareness, a non-profit organization created from personal tragedy and a shared passion for making a difference. After losing his father to suicide in 2015, Nick founded Pain to Power as a way to channel his grief into something positive, raising funds to support families struggling in the wake of a suicide loss.

Bryana Longley has been instrumental in bringing this mission to life, standing by Nick’s side from the very beginning. As the organizational backbone of Pain to Power, Bryana has ensured that the vision stays on track, providing structure and clarity amidst the chaos of running a non-profit. Together, they have not only raised awareness but also laid the groundwork for opening a therapy center that will offer free mental health services to the community.

Their leadership, dedication, and teamwork have made Pain to Power a beacon of hope, turning personal pain into a powerful force for change. Both Nick and Bryana have been nominated for their exceptional leadership under 40, as they continue to inspire others and make a lasting impact on their community.
