I want kick this thing off by telling you guys a little bit about the amazing charity this campaign is supporting.Tunnel to Towers Foundation was created in 2003, by the family of Stephen Siller, who passed away on 9/11. His picture hangs on several walls in the office. Though he died over 10 years ago, I heard his name mentioned several times during my visit. After visiting Tunnel to Towers, I felt it was the perfect choice for this fundraiser. The charity is filled with good people doing good things in memory of a good man. Here is Stephen’s story:

———————————————
On September 11th, firefighter Stephen Siller had just gotten off the late shift at Squad 1, Park Slope, Brooklyn. He was on his way to play golf with his brothers on that bright clear day when his scanner told of the first plane hitting the Twin Towers. When he heard the news, he called his wife Sally to tell her he would be late because he had to help those in need. He returned to Squad 1 to get his gear, then took his final heroic steps to the World Trade Center. When Stephen drove his truck to the Brooklyn Battery Tunnel, it was already closed to traffic . With sixty pounds of gear strapped to his back, he ran through the Tunnel, hoping to meet up with his own company, Squad 1.

Every year, Tunnel to Towers holds a charity run to retrace Stephen’s steps. The last two weeks, they have played a major role in Hurricane Sandy relief. Please join us in helping them with their efforts.

That is not a record - that is a cross-section of a fucking tree. And it sounds like this.
