It’s been 20 years since the Twin Towers fell.
Cleveland firefighters Clay Sneed and Logan Helton came up with an idea to climb the height of the Twin Towers everyday for 20 straight days. They’re doing this in full gear that they said can weigh up to 45 pounds.
On top of that, they are running 3.43 miles everyday to honor those who didn’t return home on 9/11.
They are also raising money for the National Fallen Firefighter Foundation, which provides resources to the families of those who lost their lives in the line of duty, and tries to prevent future tragedies.
Everyday, they said they climb in honor of a different firefighter who died. On September 10th, they climbed in honor of Peter J Ganci Jr., who was the fire chief at the time of the attacks.
