Today I ran the #tunneltotowers 5k from Brooklyn to manhattan. Then ran the Brooklyn bridge back to red hook to where I parked my car. Check my IG story for video of the Run! #NYC #stephensiller #9112001 #neverforget #2017

Today celebrated the 15th annual #Tunnel2Towers run in honor of Firefighter #StephenSiller. "On September 11, 2001, Stephen, who was assigned to Brooklyn’s Squad 1, had just finished his shift, and was on his way to play golf with his brothers when he got word of the first plane hitting the Twin Towers over his scanner. Upon hearing the news, Stephen called his wife Sally and asked her to tell his brothers he would catch up with them later, and returned to Squad 1 to get his gear. Stephen drove his truck to the entrance of the Brooklyn Battery Tunnel, but it had already been closed for security purposes. Determined to carry out his duty, he strapped 60 lbs. of gear to his back, and raced on foot through the tunnel to the Twin Towers, where he gave up his life while saving others. Stephen had everything to live for; a great wife, five wonderful children, a devoted extended family, and friends. Stephen’s parents were lay Franciscans and he grew up under the guiding philosophy of St. Francis of Assisi, whose encouraging and inspirational phrase “while we have time, let us do good” were words that Stephen lived by. Stephen’s life and heroic death serve as a reminder to us all to live life to the fullest and to spend our time here on earth doing good - this is his legacy."

Just about 1 more week until we climb again! Benevolent Brigade takes the Freedom Tower. Really psyched to get a chance to climb the Freedom Tower and more importantly get another chance to commemorate those lost on September 11. The Stephen Siller T2T Foundation is a great organization and I hope we all continue to keep the promise to never forget. This climb will be 102 floors this time (no bunker gear allowed for security reasons unfortunately) and for the first time the Freedom Tower is being opened for a climb. I hope they do more in the years to come. Stay tuned for sweaty pictures of us post-climb next Sunday. 😵💦🚒🚨🇺🇸 (PC: Albie Colantonio 📸) ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ . ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ . ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ . ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ . #fitfam #fitgirls #firefighterfitness #doughnutsanddeadlifts #iifym #iifymgirls #motivation #neverforget #fitnessideas #workoutideas #stairclimber #stairclimbing #stephensiller #tunneltotowers #redwhiteandblue #neverforget #firefighters_daily #firefighter #firefighterbrotherhood #chief_miller #benevolentbrigade #tunneltotowers #stephensiller (at One World Trade Center)
