From Tank’s Big Escape to Eliza’s Lasting Light: Good News Stories of Hope, Heart, and Second Chances

Today on Good Morning Wake County, we take you from a missing tortoise named Tank in Greenfield, Illinois to the streets of Raleigh, where law enforcement officers ran for the Special Olympics. Then we head west to California for the inspiring story of Trevor Turner, a former inmate turned award-winning college graduate, before coming home to Raleigh to remember Eliza Craven and the $2.5 million gift that will help other families facing childhood illness. These are stories of good, stories of heart… and the kind of feel-good news that stays with you.🎧 Featuring:Tank the Tortoise 🐢 (Greenfield, IL)Wake County Special OlympicsTrevor Turner (Bakersfield College, CA)Amanda & Lee Craven + Transitions LifeCare (Raleigh, NC)Team Speedy Sloth + Eliza Alice Craven Pediatric Fund (Duke University, Durham, NC)🔗 SOURCES & LINKSTank the Tortoise – First Alert 4:https://www.firstalert4.com/2025/05/28/illinois-town-comes-together-find-missing-tortoise/Torch Run / Special Olympics:https://www.cbs17.com/news/local-news/wake-county-news/wake-county-law-enforcement-runs-through-rain-to-benefit-nc-special-olympics/Trevor Turner, Bakersfield College Grad:https://www.bakersfield.com/bakersfield-life/bakersfield-matters-bc-grad-defies-odds-earns-collegiate-recognition-with-inspiring-story/article_b47665db-424d-4ac8-8555-f5d02d1dff75.htmlEliza’s Story / Transitions Kidshttps://www.dignitymemorial.com/obituaries/raleigh-nc/eliza-craven-10806995https://www.cbs17.com/news/local-news/wake-county-news/the-whole-family-is-the-patient-childrens-hospice-program-in-raleigh-receives-2-5-million-gift/https://www.supportdukehealth.org/site/TR/Angels/AngelsAmongUs?pg=team&fr_id=2621&team_id=30983Subscribe & FollowJoin the community and get podcast notifications. ⁠⁠https://tapyournews.com/good-morning-wake-county-podcast/⁠⁠
