As we approach the 10th anniversary here is one way to honor those who made the ultimate sacrifice on September 11, 2001. The National Fallen Firefighters Foundation will help you set up and organize a 9-11 Memorial Stair Climb for your area.

Here is part of the description of the event from the NFFF website. Click here to learn more about the events:

On the morning of September 11th fire service members convene in high-rise buildings across the United States to climb 110 stories as a tribute to their fallen brothers. Some use air pack or carry hoses; many are in full turn-out gear; others are accompanied by rescue dogs. Each climber carries the photograph of a firefighter who was lost on September 11, 2001.  

Several climbs have been modified to enable citizens to participate, and are generally held in outdoor venues. For both types of event, the 9-11 Memorial Stair Climb is not a race, but an opportunity to honor and remember the 343 FDNY members who selflessly gave their lives so that others might live.
