Since 9/11 the Tunnel 2 Towers Foundation has raised money for the families of first responders who lose their lives in the line of duty. On Saturday Lincoln police officers and firefighters will gather at Holmes Lake North Shore to honor those brave men and women who gave their lives on that day.
The Tunnel 2 Towers organization pays off the mortgage for families of fallen first responders with young children, including LPD Investigator Mario Herrera’s family.
“Carrie Herrera was actually a recipient of Tunnel 2 Towers payoff,” says LFR’s Nancy Crist. “She said they contacted her and took over the payments right away, and then paid it off.”
Lincoln police officers and firefighters will be running in their gear in honor of those first responders who gave all on 9/11. The public is invited to come and cheer on their favorite first responder running in the race.
