Light For Veterans charity golf tournament

The Light For Veteran (LFV) golf tournament is an annual event aimed at saving the lives of Canadian veterans who struggle with mental health, addictions, and aimlessness after their service has ended.

9 Canadian veterans end their lives prematurely every day because of how hard reintegration into civilian life can be after service. The traumas sustained by the brave men and women who voluntarily put their lives on the line in the service of others can be devastating when their service ends. They can feel isolated and alone despite being in a room filled with family and friends. The camaraderie they shared through the hardships of service often falls away, leaving them feeling helpless, aimless, and hopeless for a positive future. The scars can be invisible, but the pain is unbearable.

My name is Daniel Marsh. I am the co-founder and president of the Light For Veterans organization. I am one of those veterans. I suffer from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and other physical ailments related to my experiences in war. The traumas I went through cost me a marriage and, for a long time, I felt utterly lost. Years of therapy helped, but two programs I attended changed my attitude significantly.

“Most depressed men probably don’t need medication. Even the ones who do need it, need more than just medication. Depressed men need purpose, a mission, and the power to accomplish that mission. Give a man those 3 things and he will crawl over broken glass with a smile.” (author unknown)

Each year, Light For Veterans will sponsor two grassroots organizations focusing on the health and well-being of veterans who struggle to adapt to civilian life after service.

These events aim to raise awareness of grassroots organizations that help veterans and first responders see that there is hope after service.
