“The community has stepped up and backed this event 100 percent,” says Al Sickle, event coordinator. “They’re helping us honor a fallen hero, who happens to be a local hero.”
Activities and registration started at 9am, with the run getting underway around 11am.
It was March 3rd of 2008 that Sgt. Bobby Rapp was killed by a suicide bomber in Afghanistan.
