The Run to Remember rolled through Humboldt yesterday on route to Wounded warriors weekend.

The Humboldt stop included a supper at the Legion that was open to the public.

Blake Emmons is the Founding Director of Wounded Warriors weekend.

He talks about why they decided to stop in Humboldt.

"It's our true belief. Starting off, for Wounded Warriors Weekend, where does the support come from? It's not just from Nipawin, or Regina, or Saskatoon, or whatever. It's from all of the province from all over the province. "

The Run to remember, which is part of the Wounded Warriors Weekend Foundation, honours those who have been injured doing jobs that protect the public.

Whether it be medical staff, Police froce, fire fighting crew, or a soldier on the front lines, Blake Emmons says they are important.

The Founding Director talks about how people can help out.

"Hey, 5, 10, 15, whatever (helps). Our website is woundedwarriorsweekend.org . Or come to Nipawin on the 31st. That's the Sunday, we have heroes hoedown. That's an outdoor event, and I think we had 2 or 3 thousand people there last time."

The event included a presentation from Joe Rustenburg, a therapy dog recipient to help him cope with PTSD from 2 missions in Afganistan.

He talks about what the Wounded Warriors Foundation has done for him.

"It brings me together with other guys that are going through the same thing that I am and showing me that I'm not alone.  They give a safe place to talk with someone and relate to them, and not think that I'm all alone and slowly going crazy in my own thoughts. There's others that are out there too."

The Wounded Warriors weekend will take place in 2 weeks in Nipawin.

The Humboldt legion was able to raise enough for one service dog to be donated.
