There was a bone-chilling wind on Saturday but that didn’t stop the heart-warming ceremony put on by Zachary Pruss, a runner with the national Running 4 Heroes campaign.
The Reed-Custer freshman led a one-mile run down Main Street in Braidwood in honor of Illinois State Trooper Corey Thompsen who died in the line of duty on Oct. 18, 2024, when his State Police motorcycle was hit by a truck while on patrol in Champaign County.
