Law Enforcement Torch Run and Plane Pull fundraises for Special Olympics
CHICAGO (WLS) -- A great exhibition of human strength is taking place at O'Hare International Airport again. Dozens of teams are part of the 6th Annual Law Enforcement Torch Run and Plane Pull, and you are invited to cheer them on! The event raises money for Special Olympics.
Besides the plane pull, there is entertainment, food, vehicles and more for the whole family.
During our ABC 7 Eyewitness News Saturday Morning, we spoke to two people involved with the event. Tom Reasoner, assistant director of the Torch Run, and Brent Kampert, Special Olympics Illinois athlete and global messenger, joined us live from the airport to explain how the plane pull helps their causes.
