Veteran's Ride Fuels Hope for PTSD Support
9 Nov
Summary
- U.S. Army veteran Tegh Singh found vital support for PTSD.
- He co-founded the Veterans Transition Network Ride in 2020.
- The ride has raised over $11,000 to help veterans transition.
U.S. Army veteran Tegh Singh found new hope and a path to healing through the Veterans Transition Network (VTN) after experiencing severe PTSD upon returning from tours in Iraq and Afghanistan. The network's group counseling programs, led by fellow veterans and mental health professionals, proved life-changing for him.
Motivated by his own recovery, Singh co-founded the Veterans Transition Network Ride in 2020. This annual cycling event has grown significantly, now attracting over 40 participants last year. It has successfully raised more than $11,000 to date.
VTN, a Canada-wide non-profit, focuses on aiding veterans in their transition to civilian life. Their trauma therapy program utilizes cognitive behavioral therapy in a structured, safe environment to help veterans process difficult experiences. This year, all donations to the VTN Ride are being matched, doubling their impact.
A new ride is scheduled for November 15, meeting at the George C. King Bridge at 9:30 a.m., offering another opportunity for the community to support veterans' mental health.
