Our flagship annual event, the Road to Recovery, is a long distance road march that covers 2km for every Veteran and first responder that died the year before. This year that distance is 136km which we will cover over 4 days. The Road to Recovery aims to raise awareness around the struggles our heroes face and to raise funds for homeless Veterans.
To date this event has raised over $1,000,000 for that cause and those funds have gone towards Operation: Leave the Streets Behind , a program managed by the Royal Canadian Legion that helps get and keep veterans off the street.
Sign up today, put together a team, and help us ensure our veterans have all the help they need.
