  • We Rush In Podcast: Episode 8 - Chad Kennedy
    May 23 2023

    In this episode of the We Rush In Podcast, join me as we dive into the remarkable journey of Chad Kennedy, the driving force behind the Sea to Sea initiative for PTSD. Chad, along with the Sea to Sea team, embarked on an awe-inspiring cross-Canada trek, commencing in Cranbrook, B.C., on April 4th, 2022, and concluding their first leg in Montreal on August 30th of the same year.

    Now, as they prepare to embark on the second leg of their incredible journey, beginning on June 2nd, 2023, in Quebec City, Chad, Rick, and Lisa are not only seeking to define their own purpose but are dedicated to sparking an ongoing conversation about post-traumatic stress and mental health.

    Chad's mission extends beyond his personal growth and discovery; he is determined to inspire others to speak out about their own injuries, ensuring that the dialogue around PTS remains alive. With all profits from funds raised going towards mental health initiatives for our public safety personnel, military communities, and even our Northern Territories, Chad and his team strive to remind everyone that they are not alone.


    Tune in to the We Rush In Podcast, Episode 8, with Chad Kennedy of Sea to Sea for PTSD, and prepare to be inspired, uplifted, and reminded of the importance of fostering a supportive community for mental health.
