Torch-Run Comes Through Cascade!

The Montana Law Enforcement Torch-Run (LETR) for Special Olympics came through town Friday afternoon. Escorted by the Cascade County Sheriff Department, the group, led by the torch bearer, with about 15 Special Olympian athletes and volunteers, walked south down 1st Street and entered I-15, heading toward the canyon.

"The mission of LETR is to raise funds and awareness of the Special Olympics Movement worldwide. Special Olympics is a program that daily reaffirms our beliefs that with hope, love and dedication we can see achievement and self-worth realized by any individual. It is the belief of LETR that persons with intellectual disabilities, by their involvement in Special Olympics, show the community at large the true meaning of sports and a pure joy towards life.
