Hundreds of people from across Southwest Florida and the country turned out at Florida SouthWestern State College on Saturday, Sept. 7 for the annual Tunnel to Towers 5K Run & Walk. The event, chaired locally by Taylor Carpet One’s Lauren Taylor, benefits first responders and military personnel.
The 5K Run & Walk is part of the Tunnel to Towers Foundation, which was founded in honor of the late Stephen Siller, a New York City firefighter, who lost his life while fighting to save others in the World Trade Center tragedy of Sept. 11, 2001.
