Fire Fighter Michael Clarke (Irish) from Chesham Fire Station will be participating in the Tunnel to Towers, New York 5k Run/Walk to raise money for the Fire Fighters Charity UK and in memory of Fire Fighter Stephen Siller from Squad 1, Park Slope Brooklyn on 25th September 2011.

Stephen Siller was a fire fighter from Squad 1, Park Slope Brooklyn. On 9/11, he was off-duty but on hearing that the World Trade Center had been hit, he headed towards the site. When his truck was prohibited from entering the Brooklyn Battery Tunnel he raced on foot towards the site with his gear to his back. He was last seen alive on West and Liberty Streets where he, more than likely, went looking for his squad, all of whom had perished. The Tunnel to Towers Race retraces Stephen’s footsteps on that fateful day.

In running along his path on the tenth anniversary of 9/11, we honour the memory of all the fire fighters and EMS workers who performed their duty that day. In running the race, we are reclaiming still another part of the city for all our heroes and for all of those who died on 9/11.

They will NEVER be forgotten.
