Special Olympics Officer Torch Run has come and past, now on to the Long Beach Marathon Oct. 11. Chief Roberta Abner, Los Angeles Sheriff's Department said:
"I am proud to serve as the Law Enforcement Torch Run Director for Special Olympics Southern California. This year, law enforcement officers throughout Southern California raised a record $900,000 for Special Olympics, which will ensure the athletes receive the best sports training and competition possible."
The torch run which began in 1981 in Wichita, Kansas has grown to include more than 100 separate runs in over 35 countries. The event is extremely beneficial to the Special Olympics which is a non-profit organization and I believe will continue to grow.
Lets get the word out and start contributing to the Special Olympics.
