One thousand climbers rose to the challenge Sunday for the seventh annual Tower Climb at One World Trade Center, raising $1 million for first responders in need.

Saved over 25,000 lives, but we lost so many great heroes that day and we’re here to honor those heroes and never forget.”The charity climb is personal for Siller.
