I am working on starting a Firefighter Health 5K run/walk with the American Heart Assn and other organizations. Should be in June, Hopefully in the Meadowlands. Still working on all the details. Let me know if you are interested. Would be nice to have my old HazMat team there.

Hey guys, my father was born and raised in Fair Lawn and my grandparents still live there, just wanted to say thanks for watching out for them and others... Stay safe.
Remember the 343

Better idea less weight, Less heat exhaustion in the tunnel. Be safe.

Last year (2009) I did it in full turnout gear. Wow that was hard. This year I will probably just do it in jeans and a t-shirt. not sure yet. It was a hell of a thing to do the 5k in turnout gear.

Definitely do the tunnel to towers. It is a great run and it shows you the true power of brotherhood.

So this year I decided to finally do the Tunnel to Towers Run/Walk. Every year I glance at it on TV but I don't tend to watch any 9/11 stuff for very long because it still bothers me. Still I always thought it would be healthy to do something positive to get my mind of of the bad stuff.

If you click the link above you can sponsor me and give money to good causes. I signed up as a walking Firefighter so the 3.1 miles shouldn't be hard at all for me physically. Next year maybe I'll be able to sign up as a running Firefighter, but this year I'm just not there yet. If you are like me and you find September to be a painful time then maybe this year at least go down to see the events because obviously sitting and doing nothing but stay away from 9/11 stuff hasn't helped even 8 years later so why not try something new?
