The Wounded Warrior Run, an annual event dedicated to raising awareness and funds for veterans and first responders experiencing post-traumatic stress disorder and operational stress injuries, is passing through Campbell River and the Comox Valley this week.

It’s part of their 8 day journey running from Port Hardy to Victoria.

This year's run features a local RCMP officer from the Comox Valley.

Sgt. Rob Brennan has served in various communities, including Prince George, Port Hardy, Haida Gwaii, and the Comox Valley.
In a release, Brennan said while policing is an extremely rewarding career, it comes with regular exposure to trauma, horrific scenes, and dangerous situations.

Brennan says he’s seen many colleagues suffer during his time as an officer and says he’s driven to empower others to open up about their struggles, seek assistance, and overcome challenges.
