The Rolling Barrage is coming!
The 5th Annual coast-to-coast motorcycle event to combat Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) hits Yarmouth Monday. The will visiti the Afghanistan Memorial adjacent to Maple Grove School at approximately 4:30, then proceed to the Rodd Grand.
For more information call 902-880-9259.
I spoke with one of the organizers, Rob Truscott about the trip.
Like its namesake (“the creeping barrage” from the Battle of Vimy Ridge in 1917), The Rolling Barrage will cross Canada on a daily route until it “takes the ridge” during a grand finale in Vancouver, BC on 21 August 2021. Along the way, they generate awareness, raise funds, and enable therapeutic supports.
“Full Pull” Riders conduct a 20 day epic motorcycle journey from the Atlantic to the Pacific oceans, with daily events scheduled in towns all the way across Canada. Registered riders and those who support them, may join in at any point along the route, to show a nationwide strength and unity that our Veterans, serving CAF members, first responders, and safety community deserve.
Come join for a stop, a leg, a day, a weekend, or the whole ride, in our efforts to combat PTSD with some wind/throttle therapy, personal challenges, and a supportive network of brothers and sisters. This is the family you never knew you had.
