Funding Project Exhale
To close out 2025, local gyms partnered in a friendly competition to raise funds for Project Exhale—a wellness + respite space for oncology parents at CHOC Children’s Hospital.
Project Exhale represents a $100,000 commitment encompassing the studio’s renovation, equipment, supplies, and ongoing maintenance. The Brynn Wheeler Foundation will contribute in $20,000 annual installments over four years, with dedicated fundraising efforts each year to fully fund and sustain this meaningful project.
Through our gym challenge, we raised over $11,000 toward this goal.
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 Rady’s 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.
Why It Matters
Parents and caregivers of children fighting cancer often spend countless hours inside hospital walls, doing everything they can to support their child’s treatment. Project Exhale offers a peaceful space where they can step away, breathe, and focus on their own well-being—so they can return to their child feeling more grounded, refreshed, and supported.
Donations will allow us to equip the wellness + respite space with:
Peleton Treadmill & Bike
Yoga Mats & Stretching Area
Weights & Resistance Bands
Massage Chair
Calm, Inviting Decor
A space to breathe, move, and recharge
