The Wendy Martinez Legacy Project

Honoring the life of #WendyMartinez by investing in #womenintech, women's #entrepreneurship & community engagement through #running. #RunforWendy

[The Wendy Martinez Legacy Project @WendysLegacy]

Let’s stand with victims’ families and find solutions for women to live and exercise without fear. Together, we can change the narrative and ensure safety for all. #RunforWendy #RunforLaken

Statement of Cora Martinez, mother of Wendy Martinez: On September 18, 2018, my daughter, Wendy, was murdered while running after work in daylight in Washington, D.C. On February 22, 2024, Laken Riley was also murdered while running. #RunforWendy #RunforLaken

[The Wendy Martinez Legacy Project @WendysLegacy]

I am deeply sorry for your loss. May peace that surpasses all understanding be with Laken Riley and you. We must come together to make our communities safer for women. #RunforWendy #RunforLaken

[The Wendy Martinez Legacy Project @WendysLegacy]

It ends when we find solutions to make women free to exercise without fear. My heart goes out to Laken’s mother, her family, and friends. Losing a daughter to violent crime is heart breaking. I stand with you in solidarity.

[The Wendy Martinez Legacy Project @WendysLegacy]

Wendy and Laken did nothing wrong but lost their lives. We MUST acknowledge and address this social problem as women and girls live in fear of being victims themselves. Change starts with recognizing victims' families' pain.

After her death in 2018, Wendy Martinez's loved ones started @WendysLegacy to support causes close to her heart.
But in the age of COVID-19, they say Wendy would want them to do even more.

Today they're giving $60,000 in grants to charity organizations.
