Help Wendel raise money

Hi all!

On May 3rd, I’ll be participating in my very first 8K (baby steps!), this feels like a big step for me! As few might know, over the past few years, I’ve faced some health challenges that made it difficult to fully return to my fitness and optimal health. I’m grateful to now be in good spirits and health, and so excited to be running in the BMO Vancouver Marathon with my workplace, BC Centre for Ability.

At BCCFA, we’re running to raise essential funds for Foundry Burnaby — a new mental health youth services centre that will support young people ages 12–24 in our community. My personal goal is to reach $500.

Mental well-being, community, youth, and families are at the core of the work I do every day. Foundry plays an essential role in providing free mental health care, substance use services, physical and sexual health supports, peer support, employment and education assistance, community resources, counselling — ensuring young people can access the help they need, when they need it. Whether it is a small donation, a share of the fundraising link -- anything means a lot! Your support to this cause would mean so much to me!

Thank you so much for cheering me on and supporting this important work! 💛
