CHICAGO (CBS) -- Members of the Cook County Sheriff's Office were on the run Tuesday morning.
They kicked off the Law Enforcement Torch Run for Special Olympics Illinois.
"This flame of hope will begin. It's a 150-mile 4-day journey through the neighborhoods of Chicago, the villages of suburban Cook County, and the towns of Illinois on its way to Bloomington," said a spokesperson.
