In 2017, Brenda Lenahan founded the grassroots group BC Complex Kids to bring families like hers together to advocate for access to equitable supports for kids with health complexities. Last year she joined the leadership team of Disability Without Poverty in hopes of elevating the issue of childhood disability poverty in Canada. She also works as a partner on various research projects and initiatives in hopes that one day the research can inform needed policy changes both provincially and federally.
Brenda is also a passionate advocate for accessibility of the built environment and the inclusion of everyone in outdoor recreation spaces.
Despite the systemic hurdles she and her son face, she embraces every moment of learning and love that accompanies this life with her son
who has inspired her involvement in advocacy, research, and her homebased business selling adaptive outdoor recreation equipment.
