On Thursday, July 7, 2016, 11:30 a.m. at Government House, 4607 Dewdney Avenue in Regina, Lieutenant Governor, the Honourable Vaughn Solomon Schofield, Patron of Wounded Warriors Weekend, lit the torch that will be carried from Regina to Nipawin to honour military and first responders, especially those struggling with Post TraumaticStress Disorder as a result of their service.

 


Also participating in the launch were representatives from the Army, Navy, Air Force, RCMP, municipal police services, the Regina Fire Department, and Moose Jaw & Regina Emergency Medical Services. Her Honour knows all too well that all Veterans and First Responders are at risk for developing PTSD and that more needs to be known about this DEVASTATING INJURY.


The Run to Remember Torch Run will visit many Saskatchewan communities from

Regina to Nipawin, Saskatchewan from July 7 - 22 and burn there throughout Wounded Warriors Weekend from July 28 - August 1, 2016. In addition to honouring veterans, military, and first responders, the Run will raise awareness of PTSD. Any funds raised will support WWW, which provides an opportunity for injured military and first responders.

For the entire schedule, see www.facebook.com/woundedwarriorsweekend

OR www.woundedwarriorsweekend.org


The crew from Battle Scars TV will also be on hand to film interviews with people

struggling with PTSD. In production since 2009, Battle Scars has interviewed

approximately 500 veterans and soldiers, embedded on exercises with the support of DND, and completed over 200 military-themed videos including a number based entirely on PTSD.
