Special Olympics athletes and law enforcement united for annual Torch Run
Pompano Beach, Florida – Athletes and law enforcement officers united for an altruistic purpose at the annual Torch Run in Pompano Beach.
A group of Special Olympics athletes was joined by officers to raise funds that would enable them to train for the games. The nearly 10-mile run, which takes place every year, was filled with camaraderie and goodwill.
The participants, adorned in their running gear, were all smiles as they ran through the different events. According to Darwin Arroyo, one of the runners, “It’s great to be able to come out here and support the Special Olympics and… it’s very rewarding and fulfilling, so I encourage everybody to come do it and join in.”
The run not only raised funds for the athletes but also helped raise awareness and support for the Special Olympics Florida mission. The organization provides year-round sports training and competition in a variety of Olympic-style sports.
It’s heartwarming to see people come together for a good cause, and this event was no exception. The athletes, officers, and all those involved deserve commendation for their dedication to promoting goodwill and making a difference in their community.
