During every tribute, Cartledge is accompanied by his family and at least one off duty officer. “Every time he runs he’s gaining more support he’s reaching more people,” Nazzaro said. As a result, last year Running 4 Heroes was able to award $85,000 dollars in grants to 13 first responders injured in the line of duty. “It feels great knowing that I’m healing thousands of people just because of a tribute mile that I’m doing,” Cartledge said.
