Running to continue Melanie's lifelong support for New York's heroes.

Melanie Cash loved New York's first responders, and she loved honoring their memory every year at the Tunnel to Towers race. She was blocks away from the World Trade Center on 9/11 and witnessed their heroism that day first-hand — it left a mark that lasted her entire lifetime.

She ran the race more than a dozen times, slowing down only to shake hands with the families of policemen and firefighters after leaving the tunnel.

Her last run came in September 2023, a year after learning she had aggressive brain cancer that made it a challenge to even walk. Nonetheless, she made sure to sprint across the finish line, giving it everything in honor of Stephen Siller and her heroes.

Melanie passed away in July, and we're determined to run in her honor every year. There's no cause she cared about more than supporting New York's heroes.
