SUMMARY: Law enforcement members from three counties in the Pine Belt participated in the annual Special Olympics torch run, passing the flame of Hope through Hattisburg, Lamar, and Jones Counties. The event helps raise awareness and funds for the Special Olympics, with about 80 people participating in the run. The torch was lit in Ellisville and will make its way to Kler Air Force Base for the games this weekend. The run not only supports a good cause, but also brings excitement and a sense of brotherhood among the participants. It is a small part that they can play in supporting the athletes and the Special Olympics.

On Thursday, the Flame of Hope passed through the Pine Belt as three counties participated in the Area 17 Special Olympic Mississippi torch run.
