Thank you to all who participated in the 5th Annual 9/11 Memorial 5K Run/Walk and Community Day on Sunday, April 23. More than 5,000 people joined together on a sunny Sunday morning to help raise awareness about the 9/11 Memorial & Museum and to honor and remember the nearly 3,000 men, women and children who died on 9/11.
