Torch Run Lights Path for Athletes

Law enforcement officers across the country are carrying the “Flame of Hope” for the Special Olympics USA Games, raising over half a billion dollars since the 80s and spotlighting athletes with intellectual disabilities. The Duluth leg drew powerful community support, with local officials honoring the long-standing partnership between police and the Games. Beyond fundraising, the torch run builds inclusion, training, and belonging—captured perfectly by athletes like Dave Persons and the Games’ motto: “Let me win. But if I cannot win, let me be brave in the attempt.” Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
