Chatham-Kent Rucksack March For Remembrance

Directions Website Contact the organization

he Rucksack March for Remembrance was established 2017 in response to the loss of many firefighters, police, ems and military veterans to metal health.

The Rucksack March for Remembrance was established to pull our community together with one mission: Raise awareness and support through fundraising events for the many Canadian military and first responders. As veterans and first responders, we wanted to create an event that would bring people from all walks of life together in support of Wounded Warriors Canada. The Rucksack march is open to all with various Cities across the country as well as the ability to participate virtually. Traditionally the ruck for remembrance has been 22km with 22kgs. Distances may vary from location to location and participants are free to decide what weight works for them. Virtually participants are free to set there own weight, distance and fundraising goals. Gather your friends, meet up and go for a ruck.

The tragic events in Wainwright last weekend have brought into sharp focus the extraordinary sacrifices made by our military and first responder communities. In the wake of hardship, we saw the very best of humanity: emergency services, military personnel, doctors, nurses, and frontline workers standing shoulder to shoulder, giving everything they had to support and care for one another

That seamless unity and selflessness brings us directly to our purpose today. The far-reaching impacts of last weekend will be felt for months and years to come, and the demand for mental health support for those who serve will be immense. Our duty now is to ensure that no one carries their burden alone, that support is always within reach, and that we honor their service with our continued care.

What started as "Hey why don't we try doing this event here in Chatham?" and hoping some people might want to participate has turned into something we are pretty proud of.
Big thanks to everyone who has made even 1 lap around the park in support of our first responders and veterans.
Hope to see everyone again on N0v. 7th to do it all again!!
