Help Emily raise money

For participating in 2019 Canada Army Run/Course de l’Armée du Canada

My Story…

On February 13, 2018, I lost my close friend and colleague Cpl Ian Coon to suicide. Ian and I met over fifteen years ago on our journeyman course in Kingston, when we discovered our mutual love of sarcasm and our mutual hatred of silly rules. He was an exceptional colleague and friend. Before his death, Ian had planned to run this race. Now, we run it each year for him. Thank you for your donations, which will help support other ill and injured soldiers.

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.
