Tunnel to Towers Run

[Fireman488 57]

This past Sunday members of the Elmsford Fire Dept. participated in the annual Tunnel to Towers Run.

The run traces the steps taken by FF Stephen Siller, FDNY Squad Co. 1, the morning of 9/11. Brooklyn Battery Tunnel to Ground Zero.

It is a growing and truly inspiring event, which benefits The Stephen Siller, FDNY, ‘Let Us Do Good’ Children’s Foundation.

Some of the highlights of the run:

The Brooklyn Battery Tunnel was lined with FDNY firefighters in full dress uniform: holding 343 American flags and 343 banners with pictures of the fallen firefighters and their company numbers.

Exiting the tunnel, the FDNY Pipe Band was playing.

Running along the Hudson River, two fireboats were discharging large streams from their deck guns.

On duty FDNY units were at various locations along the course, cheering on the runners.

The end of the run, Vesey St. was lined with various food and merchandise booths.

Followed by some inspiring messages from Former Mayor Guiliani, members of the Siller family, just to name a few.

It was a great day for fitness and fellowship, while honoring the 9/11 heros and raising money for a truly worthy cause.

If you are a runner or a walker, I highly recommend you trying it next year.
