Deputy Young has been active in Special Olympics and Torch Run events on a local, state, and international level for over 20 years. Over the years, he has recruited too many volunteers to count, just by organizing many fundraisers and spreading the word about inclusion. Deputy Young has never, and will never, take any credit for anything he does for the Torch Run and Special Olympics… number one, because that’s just how he is, and two, he is extremely humble and loves what he does to support a great cause. Throughout his years of active involvement, in addition to participating in Polar Plunge, Final Leg Runs, and Summer Games, he has organized and successfully implemented numerous events, such as Cover the Cruisers, local Legs of the Torch Run, Poker Runs, the Polar Bear Ride, and of course, the Strongman Competition. He also traveled to Dubai and Abu Dhabi to show his dedication by running in the Torch Run Final Leg of the World Games.
