The tragedy of 9/11 changed our country in countless ways, and members of one relay are doing their part to make sure the victims will never be forgotten:
“As you look at it, in year one, we did charities right out of 9/11, then charities for the military, and then the future of our country last year,” DePoto said. “That really inspired us to create a nonprofit this year, so now all of the money we are raising is going to scholarships to the children of first responders and military who have either died or become injured and are not able to return to work.
In the relay, every team carries both a Flag of Honor—which contains the names of all those who perished in the World Trade Towers, the Pentagon, United Airlines flights 175 and 93 and American Airlines flights 11 and 77—and a Flag of Heroes, which includes the names of the emergency services personnel who gave their lives so that others could live.
Teams also stop at firehouses along the route to thank first responders. In addition to the shared Ground Zero run, all runners also completed a 3-mile section in Philadelphia alongside a Philadelphia Fire Department escort with the department’s current recruiting class. The run ended at the firehouse near City Hall.
In addition to a run, a bike relay was added this year that started at the Pentagon and rode to the Flight 93 Memorial in Pennsylvania. There were 17 cyclists for the inaugural ride.
