Greensboro officer and business join forces to honor Officer Horan [Video]

A Greensboro officer and Greensboro business work together to keep the name and memory of fallen Officer Michael Horan alive.

GREENSBORO, N.C. — A Greensboro officer and a Greensboro business, Carolina Sports, are honoring a fallen Greensboro police officer. Again.

Money from those sales will go directly to Officer Horan’s family.

WFMY News 2’s Nixon Norman met an officer who helped bring this idea to life.

Greensboro Officer Tiffany Rahenkamp said she knew Officer Horan well, saying that he was a fierce multi-tasker and family man.

“He was straight to the point but he was super comical. He prided himself in his Irish heritage which is — I wanted to make sure that we kind of tied that into the t-shirt design that we did,” Officer Rahenkamp said.

Fitness helping women build friendships with strangers [Video]

As an adult, it can sometimes be difficult making new friends. There's no step-by-step process. But, a Milwaukee social group is working to make it easier for people by combining friendship with fitness.With this group, there's no need to run or jog. These women walk and call themselves "Girls Who Walk Milwaukee," The idea is to build friendship one step at a time. Sam Schulte founded the group and created something she saw a need for. "I think it's really accessible for a lot of people and it's easy to talk and meet people and connect and share conversation while you're walking," said Schulte. With one foot in front of the other, dozens of women walked around Estabrook Park in Shorewood. They braved the cold with their coats, scarves and coffee for a common purpose -- fitness and friendship, which is not always easy. "Meeting new friends as an adult is really hard," said Schulte. It's the reason Ariana Brooks joined; she moved to Milwaukee less than a year ago. "To meet people in the Milwaukee area, more girls," said Brooks. "I've gotten to know a couple girls like more so in person than Instagram. So, it's been great."One new friend she met is Anna Brandt who says she loves the walking group. Girls Who Walk Milwaukee started in May 2023. At some of the first walks, Schulte says 20-30 people showed up. Now, she says, there are sometimes 70 women. With each step, strangers turn into friends. It's one of the best parts for Schulte. "That's one of my favorite parts of the walks is when there's people kind of lingering around afterwards, exchanging phone numbers and Instagram handles. So it's really cool to see that happen," said Schulte. The dates and locations for the walks vary. The group is always looking for new routes to explore. The next walk is Saturday at 10 a.m. at Lakefront Brewery. If you can't make it this weekend, visit the group's Instagram page for the schedule.
