This year, on the 25th anniversary of September 11, we’re inviting our fellow first responders and members of our community to join us.

You don’t have to complete 343 ascents.

Climb once. Climb five times. Climb as many as you are able.

Every stair. Every ascent. Every person helps us reach 343 together.
