Ned’s Wish Heroes Run 2024

The Fort St John wish to express their support of the fourth annual Ned’s Wish Heroes Run 2024 scheduled for Saturday, October 5, 2024.

Ned’s Wish is a Canadian charitable organization dedicated to preserving and enhancing the quality of life for retired police and military service dogs by providing financial and education support for their medical well-being.

The Hero’s Run is a one of a kind run-with-your-dog fundraiser event with proceeds going toward supporting retired service dogs across Canada.

The 2024 Heroes Run will honour Police Service Dog Bingo, of the Toronto Police Service. On July 25, 2023, Bingo and his handler were tasking with helping to search for a suspect wanted for homicide. Bingo located the suspect however was tragically shot and killed during the interaction. Bingo's work ethic and sacrifice saved the lives of the officers on scene that day.

My first police dog, Dirks Regimental #936, has benefited from this program and it literally extended his life in retirement, said Corporal Dan Cloutier, Fort St John Police Dog Service Unit. Needless to say, I'm a big supporter of this cause. My wife and I have been involved with Ned's Wish for a few years now. Read Dirks Story
