TSSDR will not attend Flash Memory Summit this year due to another event taking priority. The organization, which has been part of the flash storage industry since 2007, remains open to hearing from companies with news or development discussions, and may arrange meetings at a later date. The exciting news involves The Rolling Barrage, an annual cross-Canada motorcycle ride that the author—a military and police veteran with 10 years in the military and 30 years as a police officer—will join for the fourth time. The ride spans from Newfoundland’s Atlantic shores to British Columbia’s Pacific coast, covering approximately 14,000 kilometres (8,700 miles) including travel to the start and return home. It is a demanding journey requiring endurance, with riders facing all weather conditions; the author recalls a historic single-day rainfall event in Halifax, Nova Scotia, during a previous ride. The Rolling Barrage is a non-profit dedicated to supporting military veterans and first responders by raising awareness of PTSD and promoting mental wellness. For a decade, the organization has donated funds to programs such as service dog training and placement, PTSD recovery retreats, equine therapy, and handmade quilts for veterans. Approximately 125 volunteer riders participate each year, each covering their own expenses ($4,000–$6,000), so every donated dollar goes directly to veteran-support programs. This year, the Rolling Barrage introduces a Sponsor-a-Rider program, allowing individuals to contribute toward a rider’s meals or fuel. Corporate sponsorship opportunities are also available. The author serves as the team’s photographer, documenting the journey. The article encourages readers to wave if they see the ride, join for part of it if they are motorcyclists, or share the post to help spread awareness.
