True Patriot Love Foundation

He was fulfilling a promise he made to a 102-year-old World War II veteran named Ed Marshall.

The event raised funds and awareness for two Canadian military organizations, the True Patriot Love Foundation and Sunnybrook.

Now, of course, all the headlines generated included...

Well, I'll, I'll read you though People Magazine headline.

Absolutely.

So the way it works is True Patriot Love now runs the walk.

I ran it for a number of years and then it became too big with too much potential.

So True Patriot Love took it over a couple of years ago.

And they do a lot of work themselves in counseling and and different programs that they offer, but they also support community organizations.

So to give you an example, part of the proceeds from the Canadian Walk for Veterans will go to mental health programs with organizations like military family resource centers.

Mark Burchill is the co-founder of The Block and co-leader of the White Rock Route out here in British Columbia.

He's been organizing these events since 2017.

Our philosophy is that if somebody is having mental health issues, they're anxious, they have anger issues, then to actually train a dog themselves to do the tasks that service dogs provide is probably not a good idea.

Co-organiser True Patriot Love is Canada's national foundation for veterans serving members of the military and their families.

Their head of community engagement encourages people to reach out to veterans in your community.

They can bring great value to your community as volunteers and in employment and also recognise that as a result of service sometimes there are unique illnesses and injuries that affect both them and their families and we have a responsibility to support them.

What else Prince Harry shared about our country and what had him diving out of a plane over Ontario.

Prince Harry landed safely on Canadian soil today after jumping from a plane north of Toronto, stepping up to a challenge from a Second World War veteran to raise money for Sunnybrook Hospital and True Patriot Love.

CTV's chief anchor and senior news editor Omar Sachdina caught up with the Duke of Sussex back on the ground to discuss the jump and his recent move back to the UK.

This incredible moment, months in the making.

Prince Harry has lined up one of his first public engagements since moving back to Britain and it will take him straight out of an airplane.

Later this month Harry is expected to take part in a charity skydive with fellow veterans to raise money for Sunnybrook and the True Patriot Love Foundation in Canada.

The jump also fulfils a promise he made last year to 102-year-old Second World War veteran Ed Marshall.

Harry met Marshall at Sunnybrook Hospital's Veterans Centre in Toronto last November.
