Help Fund Project Exhale
What We’re Creating
Brynn Wheeler Foundation has been approved to build a wellness + respite space for childhood cancer caregivers on the 5th floor of CHOC Children’s Hospital, in Orange. A peaceful, restorative room designed to support the emotional and physical well-being of those walking the unimaginable path of childhood cancer.
This space will include:
Peleton Treadmill & Bike
Yoga Mats & Stretching Area
Weights & Resistance Bands
Massage Chair
Calm, Inviting Decor
A space to breathe, move, and recharge
Why It Matters
Parents & caregivers of children fighting cancer often spend long hours, days, and months inside hospital walls, pouring everything they have into their child's care. This wellness room is a space where they can step away briefly, care for their own body and mind, and return to their child more grounded and supported.
GYM Challenge
