HOUSTON – A little boy moved to tears by the story of little "Officer" Abigail Arias, who died Tuesday after a long battle with cancer, will run in her honor Wednesday.

Zechariah's family says he felt honoring Abigail, who died at the age 7, is the right thing to do. 

Zechariah will run at 6:30 p.m. Wednesday CT. The run will be fed on a livestream on the Running 4 Heroes Facebook page.
