Their story

Hi, my name is Brian Cross. As we approach the 25th anniversary of September 11th, 2001 it is my intention to do my part to remind all of us of the sacrifices of our first responders and hard working civilians whose lives were forever changed that day.

Beginning at 12am on Friday, September 11th, I will be stepping aside due to injury, but I am proud and thankful that my three sons along with friends and family will be walking approximately 50 miles from my Long Island home to the 9/11 Memorial in NYC. With great respect and gratitude for all of our country's fallen heroes, those who lost their lives on 9/11, and especially my late father Battalion Chief Dennis A. Cross, they will proudly carry the American flag as they walk.

We are raising funds for two charities close to my heart; the New York Firefighters Burn Center Foundation and the Fight For Firefighters Foundation. The Fight For Firefighters Foundation aims to help first responders, their families, or those in their communities. They are noted for building wheelchair ramps throughout New York. The New York Firefighters Burn Center Foundation is dedicated to the advancement of burn care, research, prevention, education, and the proper treatment of burns.
Any contribution is greatly appreciated.                                            
Thank you and God Bless America
