What is the NH 9/11 Memorial Stair climb?

The stair climb is a way for firefighters across the State and region to gather together and tell each other and let the rest of the world know that we          will not forget the sacrifices made on that day. It is an untimed walk aimed at using physical fitness to remember the events, people and FDNY firefighters of September 11th, 2001. The climb is designed to equate to 110 stories, the height of the World Trade Center Twin Towers.

Each participant will begin in the basement level of 1000 Elm Street, Brady Sullivan Plaza, and climb to the 20th floor. Participants will then take an elevator back down to the basement and repeat the process five more times, with a final decent to the 10th floor, climbing back to the 20th level equaling a total of 110 stories. On the final ascent to the top, once completed, there will be an opportunity for team photos to be taken before the team descends for termination activities. These photos will be available for purchase.


What are the goals of the event?

The focus of the event first-and-foremost is remembrance. We will honor the firefighters, people and events of September 11th, 2001 with each step. Second, to establish the NH 9/11 Memorial Stair Climb as an annual event to provide continued and consistent support to the National Fallen Firefighters Foundation and the services it provides to families of fallen firefighters across the nation.
