The Fuse with Mohair Sweets, PTSD Fundraiser in Memory of Ken Barker
Event Information
Description
Please join The Fuse and their special guests for this third annual fundraiser. In the summer of 2014 we lost our friend Ken Barker after a lengthy battle with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). Ken was a great husband, parent and friend. It is fitting to honour his memory with a live concert involving family, friends, colleagues and the public as Ken was a great lover of music and concertsThe first two events raised a total of $30,000 for Heroes are Human (The Tema Conter Memorial Trust). The Trust provides training to first responders in occupations with a high incidence of post-traumatic stress disorder (fire fighters, police, corrections, ambulance etc.).
The Tema Conter Memorial Trust is a hub of education, research, scholarships and training in the fields of operational stress injuries and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder
