Organizers are putting together The annual Huron County Torch Run which is planned for next Tuesday.
Special Olympians, police officers, family members, friends and community supporters from all over Huron County will run, walk, stroll together in an effort to increase awareness and raise funds for Special Olympics Ontario
The Huron County Torch Run will start at 9 a.m. at the Wingham OPP Detachment. The run will go through Wingham ending at the south end mall. Participants will then be transported to Blyth, Clinton and Goderich where they will complete a run/walk/stroll in each of those communities.
After completing the final leg in Goderich participants and supporters will meet back at McGee Motors located on Suncoast Drive East in Goderich for a celebration BBQ.
Any person or business that is looking to donate to this wonderful cause may donate on the day of the event by cash or cheques made payable to "Ontario Special Olympics".
Bus transportation will be provided free of charge from Goderich to Wingham. Please arrive at the Goderich OPP Detachment located on Courthouse Square prior to the 8 a.m. departure time.
"The Law Enforcement Torch Run is really a day of inspiration and hope. The courage demonstrated by these athletes, combined with the celebration of diversity uniting our communities everywhere is extremely powerful. I encourage you to join in on this event by coming out to run with the athletes or to cheer them on. Without a doubt you will leave with feelings of joy and inspiration," said Huron County OPP Sergeant & Torch Run Coordinator Russ Nesbitt.
