Fernweh Wellness

Fernweh Wellness is dedicated to breaking the silence around suicide and mental health. Through initiatives like The 4500 Walk, they foster community support and awareness, ensuring no one faces their struggles alone.

In Canada, approximately 4,500 people die by suicide every year&hellip; that is roughly 13 people every single day. That number increases and decreases year by year. But that&rsquo;s not just a number; that was a person, a life. And for every life lost, there are countless families, friends, and colleagues left behind in the wake of the silence. The 4500 Walk is our way of breaking that silence. We walk to remember those we&rsquo;ve lost, to support those who are struggling, and to ensure that no one has to navigate the darkness alone. The 4500 Walk is proudly presented by Leroy &amp; Leroy and Ashley Foster,&nbsp;CEO of Fernweh Wellness. Together, we are bridging the gap between community awareness and professional support, walking to ensure that no one has to face their darkest moments alone. Get Involved 1.
