DAVIESS CO., KY (WFIE)- Some members of the Daviess County Sheriff's Office were out bright and early in the rain participating in their annual Torch Run. 

During Monday's run, it didn't matter who was the fastest, because the focus was just on raising awareness.

"I was real tired," said Deputy Kenny Burns. "I sat down for a couple minutes, and now my legs feel like jelly. It's hard to stand now," he said. 

But for Deputy Burns, it was all worth it.
