Where it All Began
Sweat to Support Survivors was launched in 2020 by Lucy MacDonald, a dedicated community member moved to act during the pandemic’s surge in gender-based violence.
What started as a personal act of movement has grown into a collective force for wellness, justice, and change.
Last Year’s Impact
In 2024, 230 participants raised $53,543.
