Our Vision
Like the shooting star that our Wendy was in life, her light and legacy will extend after her physical body left the earth. It will live on through us; and through every person who locks arms with us to achieve her vision for a better today:
• Where women understand, celebrate, and share their own power, especially Latina women
• Where running is a force for vitality and can be practice safely; and
• Where the promise of technology is a catalyst and mechanism to realize even bigger and better outcomes.
