Help Alisha raise money

For participating in 2019 Scotiabank Vancouver Half-Marathon & 5k

My Story…

Why are Alisha and Sanda running the Scotia Half Marathon on Sunday, June 23 when they've barely trained for it?! Because we are fundraising for WAVAW Rape Crisis Centre to support survivors in their healing! We believe strongly in the positive impacts WAVAW continues to make in our society and 100% of your donations go directly to supporting services for survivors: •WAVAW is the ONLY organization in the Lower Mainland to offer specialized, gender-affirming support services to all trans, non-binary, and Two-Spirit survivors of sexualized violence. •WAVAW offers the only counselling group in Canada specifically for and by queer survivors of sexualized violence. •Immediate crisis support through the 24-hour crisis and information line and hospital accompaniments. •WAVAW supports survivors with accompaniments to police visits and court dates •WAVAW supports survivors through one-to-one and group counselling • All services are free of charge.
