Run to Remember 2,977

I lived in NY for 30 yrs. Was in my car as the first plane struck & my radio went to static. I turned towards the city on the overpass to see the 1st plume of smoke rising & said ‘shit, that’s not good.’ I arrived home in time to watch the second plane hit. A friend was supposed to have an interview that morning. They called to reschedule for 2 hrs later. It saved his life. He decided to get in a run, just blocks from the towers. It took us most of the day to find out if he was alive, since the cell towers were on top of the trade center and destroyed. Dozens of people I saw regularly on the Manhasset line never came home that night. It’s still haunts me today. I wish I could give more, but I’m retired now. Thank you to you and your sister for your service! L J Kish Retired RN

Hanna - Thank you for your inspiring year-long journey to honor and remember those who perished on 9/11. The stories you shared about their lives were both memorable and humbling – a poignant reminder of who they were and the lives they lived.

Hanna- Thank you for never forgetting all the lives tragically lost on 9/11, especially my uncle, Andrew Steven Zucker, who will forever be a hero in our eyes.

I was working in the FDNY on September 11, assigned to L102 but working in E262 that day. First hand witness to the destruction and murder of these terrorists attacks. Thank you for your service and 🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲NEVER FORGETTING🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲 keep on running! 343 FF died that day and more that 400 have died since due to related illness and many more from other services and civilians.

9/11 changed not only American lives, but the lives of people around the world who felt its impact. I still get emotional every time I visit the memorial when I’m in the city. The loss, the courage, and the memories remain deeply moving. I will never forget.

Thank you

We will never forget

So proud, and deeply inspired by your progress so far Hanna! Honored to tag along for a small portion of your miles, and humbled to learn about all of the stories you share. Excited to hop in for more! Merry Christmas and good luck to you for the remainder of the project.

Thank you for this opportunity to honor those we lost and to remember all who were affected by the events and aftermath of 9/11

Thank you for all you do!

What an incredible way to give back, Hanna! That is a whole lot of running coming from someone who loves to log miles as well. It has been fun to watch and hear about your journey. How inspiring!!

So proud of you Sis - inspired by the miles you’re logging, and even more so by the stories you’re sharing to honor and remember those we lost on 9/11. Thank you for keeping their memory alive.

Thank you for leading the way on something so deeply important, but underrepresented. The Born family's 9/11 story displays the kind of love, character, loyalty, and resilience that is so quintessentially American, and your commitment to remember reminds us all what matters most!
