Tomorrow's the climb it isn't for us, the attention isn't for us. It isn't a race, a personal fitness goal, or a competition. This climb is an act of remembrance. It’s for the ones who showed up on that horrific day, who didn't hesitate when faced with the unimaginable. It's for the firefighters, police officers, and first responders who ran toward the danger as the rest of the world was running away.They were ordinary people who did something extraordinary. They gave everything they had, not because they were asked to, but because it was in their nature to serve, to protect, and to save. They gave everything that day so some had a chance to see a tomorrow. #343 #911
