New York, N.Y.—FCNews publisher Steve Feldman and his son, Harris, joined Mohawk executives Sunday to brave a Nor’easter and participate in the 25th annual Tunnel to Towers (T2T) 5K.
The event follows the route taken by FDNY firefighter Stephen Siller on Sept. 11, 2001, beginning near the Brooklyn-Battery Tunnel and continuing toward the World Trade Center site. The run honors the 343 FDNY firefighters, law enforcement officers and civilians who lost their lives in the attacks.
The firemen who kicked off the 5k, retracing the steps of their brothers who ran through the tunnel in full gear before climbing the stairs in the World Trade Center on that fateful day.
