My Story…

I am participating in the Half Marathon at the Canada Army Run in Ottawa this September! This will be my first 1/2 marathon and 3rd time participating in the Canada Army Run. My main motivation for signing up is to set an example for the youth & fellow Adult Staff members of the Canadian Cadet Organization. The Canada Army Run is truly the highlight of my year, and carries a lot of significance for me. In 2017, I signed up as a motivator to lose weight, get more active, and set an example for myself and Cadets. In 2018, I proudly beat my 2017 time by 7 minutes! Now, my sights are set on the 1/2 marathon, an ultimate endurance test for me. I'm not focused on time, just getting across the finish line! On top of training for the 1/2 Marathon, I am also raising money for the The Military Families Fund and Soldier On / Sans Limites! Please help me beat my fundraising goal of $10/km ($211)!

Description

STAND WITH US!

When a woman or man serves in the military, they make a sacrifice for our country. When a parent serves, it is the whole family that makes this sacrifice. A military family experiences frequent moves, lengthy absences and the risks of family members serving in physically and mentally demanding and dangerous situations. For these families, it can feel like they don’t have a consistent support system, their children struggle to connect to an ever changing peer group, and members may need assistance in their recovery and rehabilitation.

Support Our Troops, the official charitable cause of the Canadian Armed Forces, was established to meet the unique needs and challenges faced by members of the Canadian Armed Forces community as a result of their military service.

Support Our Troops funds two main programs: Family First and Soldier On.

Support Our Troops and Soldier On rely exclusively on the generosity of Canadians like you, corporate donations, signature and third party events, proceeds from sales, and CF Appreciation Nights.

Support Our Troops and Soldier On assisted over 2600 members and their families over the last year. Your help is needed as the demand in times of peace or conflict continues to grow.
