Testimonials
As a program in its infancy, CF Soldier On has successfully supported many initiatives and individuals striving to improve their quality of life.
“The Soldier On program was instrumental in providing me with the adaptive equipment to get active in sport. I was provided with a basketball wheelchair that I use each week to play with the local team. The ability to get active has made a huge improvement on my quality of life. I am able to use recreational sport to help keep fit, as well as socialize with other members of the disabled community.” Sgt (Retired) Steve Daniels, first recipient of the program.
"For me to stand on top a mountain was incredible. That feeling of the mountain air as I stood on five meters of snow was truly inspirational. It got me thinking of all the possibilities of things that I can do and not what I cant." MCpl Paul Franklin, 1 H Svcs Group, Edmonton.
"I do not know where I would be today with my rehab if it were not for these dedicated individuals and the power of sports. Thank you and Soldier On”. Sgt Karen McCoy, 1 Wing, CFB Gagetown
"To me what was even more endearing was the time spent with other injured soldiers and the military extended family. I left there knowing I have made life long friends." MS (Retired) Eric Payne
"The adrenalin rush that I had as I watched the lift take me higher and higher up the mountain knowing that I had the ability to once again after 20 years ski down a mountain feeling the fresh powder and wind in my face was something I never thought I would feel again in my life. Thanks to you and the Soldier On Program you made me realize that there is a lot that injured Soldiers can still accomplish and succeed at." MCpl Rick Rickard, 22 Wing, CFB North Bay
