MYRTLE BEACH, S.C. (WMBF) - A nonprofit is now providing extra help to an officer with the Myrtle Beach Police Department who was injured in a shooting last October.
Wangstad had served for one year with MBPD prior to the shooting, according to officials.
Running 4 Heroes is based around 12-year-old Zechariah Cartledge, who runs with a flag to honor fallen officers across the country. The organization also says he will travel to Myrtle Beach this weekend to personally present Wangstad with the check.
