COEUR d’ALENE — On Tuesday, Wayne Longo began a journey across the country to promote this year’s Special Olympics.
It’s a journey the former Coeur d’Alene chief of police likened to the one undertaken by the namesake character in the classic film “Forrest Gump.” For the next month, Longo will run 7,000 miles carrying the Special Olympics torch for the Law Enforcement Torch Run and said he was humbled to get the opportunity to have one last adventure as an officer.
“You can never stop giving back,” Longo told The Press. “My feeling is that I’m going to make a positive memory every day on this trip.”
