Dine for the Cause

This past July, a courageous effort has left Wendy Rodger, of North Kingstown, unable to walk. In a perilous accident, she sacrificed her own well being for her 4 year-old son Evan, and sustained a broken pelvis as she lay trapped under the car that had been barreling towards him. Wendy was able to push her son to safety in the thick of the action and was airlifted to Boston's Tufts Medical Center to be treated for critical injuries. Wendy has also been a devout participant of the Pell Bridge Run which she and her friend Jessica Wood, of Wildwood Catering, have always ran together.

This year, however, Jessica will be pushing Wendy to the finish line in the four mile race over Newport Bridge. In addition to helping her friend finish the race, Jessica will also be helping Wendy finish her recovery. With medical bills exceeding one million dollars, Wildwood Catering will be hosting a pop-up restaurant to help this heroic mother and friend.

The pop-up will be at Wildwood's UMelt location in Providence and will be held this Friday, November 8th. A minimum donation of $50 will be asked of guests who will be served a four-course meal to benefit Wendy and her family.

Please help Wendy in her recovery this weekend and join her on Sunday, November 10th for her comeback this year at the Pell Bridge Race. Tickets are available online.
