The Ohio Law Enforcement torch run will
start today in Hamilton for the Hamilton and Butler counties leg of the
statewide run.
More than 2,000 officers from Ohio will carry the
torch through 150 communities to raise money and awareness for the
Special Olympics. The run is the largest year round fundraising event
that benefits Special Olympics Ohio. Last year, the torch run raised
more than 518,000 dollars for competing athletes throughout the state of
Ohio.
The torch run will pass through Hamilton for the 17th year as
it makes its way to the Special Olympics opening ceremonies in Columbus,
which begins Friday at Jesse Owens Memorial Stadium on the campus of
Ohio State University.
