9/11 Memorial Stair Climb Estes Park, CO

The first Estes Park 9/11 Memorial 5K and Stair Climb was held today at the Estes Park Visitor Center and Parking Garage and Lake Estes Trail
Participants gathered together to remember and honor those lost on 9/11 by a 5 K walk around Lake Estes followed by a stair climb up and down the parking garage stairways.
Each participant paid tribute to the FDNY firefighters by climbing the equivalent of 110 stories of the World Trade Center.
EVFPD Fire Chief David Wolf wished to have an event such as this in our hometown and he, along with a committee of dedicated volunteers, brought his dream to fruition.
Those who walked and stair climbed at the event were moved to tears at times, especially when EPVFD volunteer Scott Manning told the story of his firefighter brother, Stephen Gerard Siller, who lost his life on 9/11 in New York City.
Proceeds from this event will support the National Fallen Firefighter Foundation.
