The first Pittsburgh 9/11 Heroes Run features a 5,000-meter race and a 1-mile fun run to honor fallen American heroes. The Travis Manion Foundation's philosophy is to "honor the fallen by challenging the living." The 9/11 Heroes Run exemplifies this philosophy. It is an event that allows anyone to set a reasonable goal and demonstrate his or her commitment to honoring the sacrifices of our heroes through a physical endeavor—symbolic in nature but powerful when multiplied individually and by community. Online registration ends Sept. 6; however, there are many ways that you can help the organization.
