The Tunnel to Towers Foundation will once again host its annual run/walk through the Hugh L. Carey Tunnel this Sunday, Sept. 28, honoring the memory of Firefighter Stephen Siller and the 343 FDNY members who died in the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks.

The event retraces the final steps of Siller, who was off duty on the morning of Sept. 11 when he grabbed his gear and attempted to reach the Twin Towers. Stopped at the entrance of the then-Brooklyn Battery Tunnel, Siller abandoned his vehicle and ran through the tunnel on foot toward Lower Manhattan. He died in the World Trade Center collapse.

Some 30,000 participants are expected to take part on Sunday, two weeks after the nation marked the 24th anniversary of the attacks.

Proceeds from the run support the Tunnel to Towers Foundation
