THE PEOPLE BEHIND PROJECT LIFE SPARK

Lived experience.
A shared responsibility.

A mission started by Jeremy and Laura Hudec, with a board that brings experience in service, care, research and governance.

Jeremy and Laura Hudec

From one experience
to a reason to help.

A retired RCMP member, Jeremy describes his own treatment experience as a turning point. He and Laura later helped fund a veteran’s retreat. That act of support grew into Project Life Spark.

The organization now works to help other Canadian first responders and military veterans explore care, while building a support structure around the experience.
