The Rolling Barrage – Coast to Coast Ride to Combat PTSD

August 16 @ 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm

Raise Awareness to End the Stigma of PTSD
Our mantra “it is not a disorder or a disease, it is an injury sustained from the traumas of one’s duty to protect Canada and her citizens.”

Ultimately, we’d like to change the last letter of PTSD from a “D” to an “I”.

If you have a Post-Traumatic Stress Injury; Operational/Occupational Stress Injury (PTSI/OSI), then you’re not broken; your brain IS wired correctly; you’re hurt from your experiences that don’t align with a proper moral compass.

Therefore, whenever possible, The Rolling Barrage will only use PTSD in our main taglines (“Combat PTSD”, “End the Stigma of PTSD”). Herein, we refer to, and push for the classification, of it as PTSI/OSI. The Rolling Barrage PTSD Foundation also made the focal shift to empower our injured compatriots, by euphemizing “living with or healing from PTSI” vice suffering with/from it.
