The Story of FDNY Firefighter Tom Del Pino: A Life of Service, Survival, and Dedication to Tunnel to Towers

On September 11, 2001, FDNY Firefighter Tom Del Pino survived the deadliest terrorist attack in American history. That day left a permanent mark on his life — but rather than retreat from the pain and trauma, Tom made it his mission to honor the memory of his fallen brothers and all who made the ultimate sacrifice.

In the years that followed, Tom dedicated himself to the work of the Tunnel to Towers Foundation, founded in honor of FDNY Firefighter Stephen Siller, who heroically ran through the Brooklyn Battery Tunnel to the Twin Towers, where he gave his life. The Foundation’s mission to support first responders, military heroes, and their families became deeply personal to Tom.

Tom became one of Tunnel to Towers’ most passionate and tireless ambassadors. He traveled the country with the Foundation’s 9/11 Never Forget Mobile Exhibit — an educational, moving tribute to the lives lost and the heroism displayed on 9/11. He also personally delivered pieces of the World Trade Center to supporters and communities across America, ensuring the memory of that day and its lessons would endure.

Since 2017, Tom has also been an integral part of the Tunnel to Towers 5K in Pike County, Pennsylvania. Year after year, he has fundraised for the event and inspired participants with his personal reflections and heartfelt speeches. His presence has helped connect the local community directly to the mission and sacrifice at the heart of Tunnel to Towers.

Today, Tom is facing his greatest battle yet. He has been diagnosed with a 9/11-related brain tumor — one of the many illnesses that continue to claim the lives of first responders years after the attacks. Tom is now fighting for his life, but his spirit and dedication remain an example to all who know him.

This year, we invite you to walk, run, and stand for Tom at the Tunnel to Towers 5K in Pike County. Let us honor his service, his fight, and the Foundation that means so much to him. Together, we can help carry forward the mission that Tom has so selflessly championed: to NEVER FORGET.


Born from the tragedy of 9/11, the Tunnel to Towers Foundation carries forward a legacy of courage and heroism. Built upon the mantra, “While we have time, LET US DO GOOD,” the Foundation supports our nation’s fallen and catastrophically injured first responders, military heroes and their families. 

Please help me support the Tunnel to Towers Foundation and America's heroes by making a donation through my page. The process is fast, easy and secure. Thank you for your support, and please don't forget to send this page to anyone who may be interested in donating!
