Sunshine and warm temperatures reigned over the fifth annual 1LT Robert F. Welch III Run for Our Heroes celebration and fundraiser held Saturday in downtown Wylie.

The event recognizes the contributions of military, fire and police personnel and is named in honor of a Wylie high school graduate who was killed in 2011 while serving with the U.S. Army in Afghanistan.
