Help us raise money

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

Our story…

OCdt Nicole Strickland will be running in the Ill/Injured 5K this year, a year after being diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia and receiving a life-saving stem cell transplant from her sister Meghan. This fundraising campaign is dedicated to Soldier On and the support Nicole and her family received from the Canadian Armed Forces during her illness, treatment and recovery. Our goal is to raise $1409.18 in honour of the one year anniversary of Nicole’s stem cell transplant on 14-Sep-18 and the beginning of her path back to Royal Military College and her career in the RCAF.

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.
