LAS VEGAS, Nev. (FOX5) – The death of Officer Roscow is not only sending waves here in the Valley, but has also received national response.
All the way in Illinois one teenager with no connection to officer Jason Roscow is raising money for his family and set to run in honor of his legacy.
Running 4 heroes is a non profit where teens across the country run 1 mile for first responders killed in the line of duty.
15-year-old Zachary Pruss will run Saturday Feb. 8 to honor Officer Roscow who was shot and killed Tuesday.
This is Zachary’s 31st mile run since joining the non-profit last year. He says doing a run like this is his way of showing support to the fallen heroes.
“I think that it’s important to honor the heroes that lose their lives in the line of duty, especially for officer Roscow doing what he loved and dying for that. Its memorable, its a great experience and its a great way to give back to the community and to the officers,” said Zachary Pruss, Running 4 Heroes runner in Illinois.
Zachary’s run will take place in Officer Roscow’s home state of Illinois.
Those interested in supporting Zachary’s run can contribute to the 2025 initiative.
