My Story…
Hey everyone!
I am completing a 5K run/walk as part of Navy Bike Ride 2025!
Navy Bike Ride raises money to Support Our Troops and Soldier On.
Support Our Troops is the official charitable cause of the Canadian Armed Forces. It was established in 2007, and it meets the unique needs and special challenges faced by members of the Canadian Armed Forces community. This includes providing financial assistance to promote family resiliency and supporting Veterans and serving members who may have an illness or injury through a variety of grants and programs.
Soldier On is a program of the Canadian Armed Forces Transition Group (CAFTG) which contributes to the recovery of ill and injured CAF members and veterans by providing opportunities and resources through sport, recreational, and creative activities.
Working with Canadian Forces Morale and Welfare Services (CFMWS) - Personnel Support Programs (PSP) at the Stadacona Fitness & Sports Center at CFB Halifax, I have personally seen the benefits that fitness, sports, and recreation programs have on currently serving members, veterans, and their families.
Your donation would ensure that programs such as Support Our Troops and Solider On will benefit the mental and physical wellbeing of CAF members, veterans, and their families.
Any amount is greatly appreciated! Thank you!

MAKE WAVES WITH US IN 2025
Welcome to the ninth iteration of the Navy Bike Ride! We are thrilled that Canadians will be joining us this June to walk, run, and cycle in support of the members of our Royal Canadian Navy and their families.
The aviators, sailors, and soldiers of our Canadian Armed Forces wear the maple leaf as a symbol of pride and patriotism on their uniforms. Each day they wear the maple leaf as they represent and protect our nation both at home and abroad, and their families. Military families are directly affected by aspects of the military lifestyle of continuous relocations, absences, and transitions.
Canadian Armed Forces members and their families are championed through Support Our Troops, Soldier On, and the Navalis Foundation (formerly the RCNBF). You will assist:
- empower youth to pursue their academic dreams
- maintain the dignity, independence, and well-being of families during financial hardship
- send children of military families to camp bringing them a renewed energy and a support network
- support ill and/or injured members in their rehabilitation and recovery through the transformative power of sport, recreation, and creative pursuits
The funds you raise will ensure that the members of the Canadian Armed Forces have access to the financial resources they need, when they need them the most. On behalf of our members in uniform – who do so much to keep us safe at home and abroad – Thank you for riding with us.

PÉDALONS À L’UNISSON EN 2025!
Bienvenue à la neuvième édition du Défi-vélo de la Marine! Nous nous réjouissons que la population se joigne à nous au mois de juin pour marcher, courir et pédalons en faveur des membres de la Marine royale canadienne et de leurs familles.
Les aviateurs, les matelots et les soldats de nos Forces armées canadiennes portent sur leur uniforme la feuille d’érable, symbole de fierté et de patriotisme. Chaque jour, ils la portent fièrement qu’ils représentent et protègent notre pays et leurs familles, ici et à l’étranger. Les familles militaires sont directement touchées par les exigences du mode de vie militaire, lequel est ponctué de réinstallations, d’absences et de transitions permanentes.
Appuyons nos troupes, Sans limites et la Fondation Navalis (anciennement le FBMRC) se font les champions de défendre les membres des Forces armées canadiennes et leurs familles. Votre appui contribuera à :
- habiliter les jeunes à concrétiser leur rêve de poursuivre des études;
- maintenir la dignité, l’autonomie et le mieux-être des familles lors de difficultés financières;
- permettre aux enfants des familles des militaires de participer à des camps, leur donnant un regain d’énergie et un réseau de soutien.
- appuyer la réadaptation et le rétablissement des membres des FAC ayant une maladie et/ou une blessure grâce au pouvoir transformateur du sport, des loisirs et des activités créatives;
Les fonds que vous amassez permettront aux membres des FAC d’accéder à des ressources financières lorsqu’ils en ont le plus besoin. Au nom de nos femmes et hommes en uniforme qui font tant pour assurer notre sécurité au pays comme à l’étranger, nous vous remercions de vous compter dans nos rangs.
