Aggie’s West Coast Wander For Wounded Warriors

Wounded Warrior offers life changing programs to military members, veterans, and first responders. They support children, members, spouses, families, and survivors.

As a paramedic, Aggie has participated in these programs and found them invaluable to her mental health recovery and resilience.

On November 13th, 2024 Aggie will walk the 42kms between Ucluelet and Tofino in support of Wounded Warriors with a goal  of raising $100 per kilometer.
