Tunnel to Towers 5K Run & Walk - Chicago, IL

I would be grateful for your donations - and would LOVE to have you join us!

This Tunnel to Towers 5K Run & Walk is one of 80 events in a national series across the country and will honor and celebrate local first responders—fire, police, EMTs, paramedics—as well as military service heroes who serve, sacrifice, and protect us every day. It will be a glorious and patriotic event, including presentation of colors, singing of our National Anthem, and the honor of running/walking side by side with the heroes who protect us every day.
