Dispatches Ride for Veterans
Donation protected
My name is Mike Terry, and I am a recently retired 23-year veteran of the Canadian Armed Forces.
On June 17th I will begin motorcycling across Canada looking for veterans to share their stories; their struggles and their successes. I’ll also be looking for organizations and individuals who are dedicated to keeping veterans connected, supported, and engaged in order to spread the word of the work they do to the veteran community and to the people of Canada.
I want to carry the message that we as veterans are all connected, that we are all worthy of happiness and purpose. I want every veteran to know that it is ok to struggle. And that no one of us needs to face our demons alone or fear judgement for them. I want the world to know that we are not just the grim headlines that the media only shares when the worst happens.
It is a journey of 22,000kms, which is a huge undertaking in and of itself, as well as stops to speak with veterans, supporters then producing and sharing media to deliver the message along the way. I cannot do this without your support.
In the coming days I will share more of my personal story as well my inspiration for the ride and the details of my trip. You can follow me on Facebook , Twitter , Instagram and Youtube .
To my brothers and sisters who have served or are still serving, please share this video through your personal networks and consider sharing your story, your voice matters more than you know.
It is time to end the isolation, it is time to break silence, it is time to Join The Net.
