his family. Depression and teenage suicide has a dramatic effect on families. Depression affects family, friends and communities.
Ginny and Kerry Dennehy are committed to sharing their experiences in a positive way to help other families, their friends

WHAT WE ARE DOING TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN OUR OWN COMMUNITY?
The Kelty Patrick Dennehy Foundation has established an ongoing Whistler Community Template to increase the awareness and education of depression.
This template is aimed to educate and inform all ages and demographics within our community, as well as inform people on how to get help and how to support a person who is asking for help.

"When Falcons Fly is a great story about people overcoming and believing they can make a difference, something our board believes our foundation can do. It's also about having a dream and believing in that dream. This is what our kids need today, to believe in themselves and have a vision and strive for that vision no matter what the obstacles." - Ginny Dennehy
