Hiking the Grand Canyon from rim to rim to rim is no easy task, and two men from the Valley decided to take on the physical challenge, raising funds for the Special Olympics as part of the Special Olympics Arizona: Law Enforcement Torch Run.
It’s a year-round campaign to raise money and awareness for Special Olympics athletes. “That’s 42 miles,” said Doug Nick, 52, who works for the Arizona Department of Corrections out of Phoenix. “Twenty-two thousand total feet in elevation change.”
