** Apologies for some poor audio in this episode. **

Thanks to Donnie Graves (serving RCMP member) for chatting with us about “Operation Pegasus” and to Laurie White (retired RCMP) for agreeing to jump out of a perfectly good airplane!

Donnie has been skydiving for his entire adult life and volunteers with Operation Pegasus which is intended to support Veterans, Serving Military and First Responders that are considered to be at a greater risk for developing Operational Stress Injuries (OSI) and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) than most other occupations.

Good luck to Laurie who will be “stepping outside her comfort zone” and jumping at the end of July 2026 and speaking to all the other participants about her challenges and successes since being shot in the line of duty.

Listeners are encouraged to consider participating in this event in the future.  Next year’s event notice is promulgated on Remembrance Day.
