Sioux City, Iowa — A Manchester man has started a run across Iowa in honor of two fallen co-workers.
Ryan Miller works as a correctional officer at the Anamosa State Penitentiary, where another officer and a nurse were killed during an escape attempt on March 23rd. Two inmates are charged in the murders. Miller says his run is an effort to bring awareness — and money.
Miller started his journey in Sioux City and plans to run about 40 miles a day.
Miller says he welcomes anyone to come out and run with him at any point along the way. He calls the prison system Iowa’s “forgotten department.”
Miller has a goal of raising $20,000 for the families of McFarland and Schulte. He’s almost halfway there, with nearly $9,000 raised so far. To learn more about Miller’s run across Iowa or to donate, visit his website: visionrunner.org.
