SAUGUS, MASS. (WHDH) - Hundreds of people ran through the streets of Saugus Saturday to honor a fallen Marine.

The annual Saugus Gold Star Run for Honor raises money for a scholarship program honoring Cpl. Scott Procopio, who was killed along with two other Marines by a roadside bomb in Iraq in 2006.

The run has raised more than $250,000 for children and spouses of members of the U.S. military who have been killed in combat.
