The 41st annual Law Enforcement Special Olympics New Jersey Torch Run leads up to the weekend’s games.
Anthony Yannazzone, of Belmar, took the torch. “I got three gold medals, so I have two gold medals and a bronze medal for Special Olympics swimming," he said.
Yannazzone’s brother James is a patrolman with Wall Township police. James, along with other police officers, came up with the idea of featuring Anthony to help promote the games and the torch run itself — an honor that Anthony has certainly earned.
The torch will eventually make its way to the games for the opening ceremonies tonight in Mercer County.
