Join us as we follow in the footsteps of an American Hero

On Sunday September 28th at 9:30 am the annual Tunnel to Towers Run will take place in NYC. Last year over 22,000 people from 10 years old to a 108 year old participated in this 5K run/walk. The event starts at the entrance to the Brooklyn Battery Tunnel (in Brooklyn) and ends at Ground Zero. This is one of the most moving 9/11 memorials you can participate in. The cost is either $40 (Pre Register) or $50 (at check in). For complete information please visit the website at: http://www.tunneltotowersrun.org/

The Sound Beach Soccer Club is planning to participate and we are hoping to have enough people to get a coach bus. The estimated cost for the bus is $20.00. Please let me know by e-mail jmorris@in2itiveweb.com or phone 631 744-6359 if you plan to attend.

While you are at the finish line check out:

Ground Zero – Freedom Tower is under construction. See http://www.projectrebirth.org

The free food (not just bananas and bagels). See http://www.tunneltotowersrun.org/partners/sponsors.html for a list of restaurants providing food.

 

Take the time to visit St. Paul’s Chapel. Surrounded by the destruction of 9/11 St. Paul’s miraculously was virtually untouched and became home to the extraordinary eight-month volunteer relief effort. George Washington worshiped in this historic church when New York was the capital of our country and his pew still exists. See http://www.saintpaulschapel.org/ for more info.

Once again please join us.
