Honour the Fallen, Help the Living:
Disclaimer: This is not a CAF affiliated event
We have registered to raise funds and awareness for Wounded Warriors Canada.
How we intend to do this is be our fundraiser, Walk for the Wounded, which entails:
-175 km walk from CFB Petawawa to Parliament Hill, and concliding at the National War Memorial.
-Done in one continuous effort
-Wearing weighted vests
-22 pushups, every hour, on the hour.
We will be stepping off, from just outside the front gates of CFB Petawawa, at 12 am on August 8th. We estimate it will take us roughly 36 hours to complete this, as it will be done in one continuous walk.
This is a veteran organized event, and will consist of a small team of 4. This is our way of showing those who are wounded, visibly or not, that they are not forgotten.
Military members and first responders give up enough in their lives. Even 1 of them feeling the only way out is suicide, is 1 too many.
The procceds raised will be used to ensure Wounded Warriors Canada can continue to provide their life-changing, and family-saving mental health programs for our ill and injured Veterans, First Responders and their families.
