This event is part of a series of runs that Old Town Run Club host's on behalf of our Charity, Tunnel to Towers (T2T.org). The mission of the foundation is to honor the sacrifice of firefighter Stephen Siller who laid down his life to save others on September 11, 2001. The charity tirelessly continues to honor and support our military and first responders who continue to make the supreme sacrifice of life and limb for our country. Please help us in raising awareness and donations for Tunnel to Towers, and the incredible impact they make everyday for our beloved military service members, our firefighters, our police officers and all our first responders. All profits from the event will go to Tunnel to Towers.
