My Story…
Hey amazing folks, thanks for being great source support to me especially in the past years. A series of health hiccups and a missing non-vital organ later, I'm adjusting to new sets of challenges and to slowly rebuild my health. What better way is there than to take on a 5 km walking challenge in support of women and kids accessing safe space and hot meals in DTES? That's right, I'm asking you to share the compassion you've shown me and spread that to our local communities.
Join me to support the DEWC's initiatives to provide women and children with nutritious meals in a safe, accessible, supportive space for women in the Downtown Eastside. My fundraising goal is $300 with a stretch goal of $500.

*Due to my funky health, I've opted for the virtual walk (my own route mapped on Strava at my own time) instead of the big race event on the 22nd.
**Update: I managed to complete my 5 km route on the day of the race at a later time :D Thank you for your generosity everyone <3
Description
DEWC operates low-barrier drop-in centre and shelter services throughout the DTES, which offer safety, supportive surroundings, nutritious meals, and basic essentials to women of the community. We are now serving over 1000 women and their children 365 days per year, a number that keep growing every year.
Oftentimes, a hot nutritious meal is a gateway for the community's most vulnerable women to a continuum of holistic supports to improve her situation.
Help us fundraise over $30,000 to support DEWC's expanding meals program.
