Stephen Siller Tunnel to Towers NYC Run


Tunnel to Towers 5K

On September 30, Team Hope For The Warriors® will participate in the 11th Annual Stephen Siller Tunnel to Towers Run/Walk. The Tunnel To Towers Run is a living, breathing Memorial Tribute to the memory of the heroic life and death of Stephen Siller, the 343 firefighters and all first responders who sacrificed their lives on September 11, 2001.


Stephen Siller, 34, who grew up in Rockville Centre, was a firefighter assigned to Squad 1 in Park Slope, Brooklyn. He had just finished his shift and was heading home to Staten Island when he heard a plane had crashed into the World Trade Center. He strapped on his gear and ran nearly two miles through the Brooklyn-Battery Tunnel toward the fire. The Tunnel to Towers 5K race retraces his final footsteps that fateful day in American history.


Before the race begins that Sunday, one of our very deserving Warrior Team members will also be the recipient of a new handcycle thanks to the generosity of the Stephen Siller Tunnel to Towers Foundation.



This is an event not to be missed.  Please consider registering for this run/walk.   While running these patriotic 3.1 miles, you will be running side by side with some of our Nation’s finest on the same path that courageous Stephen Siller did the morning of September 11th.  This event will be one that you will never forget.  Don’t miss your opportunity to run with Team Hope For The Warriors® for something greater than yourself. To register and for more information, please visit the Stephen Siller Tunnel to Towers Foundation website.
