Every year, the Lexington fire department honors the public servants who perished in the attacks of September 11, 2009 by organizing a charity run. This “Run to Remember” is centered around September 11 and is part of a larger program called “The Week of Giving,” created by the LFD chaplain to show the department’s appreciation for the support they received from the community following September 11, 2001. The run is 4.03 miles long, symbolizing the 403 FDNY, NYPD, and Port Authority personnel whose lives were taken on that day.  The race will be held at 8:00 am on Saturday, September 11, 2010, at Coldstream Research Park off of Newtown Pike in Lexington, KY.  All proceeds are donated to the UK Children’s Hospital.

Come and show your support for the Lexington Fire Department, and for all of the service personnel who put their lives on the line for their community. You can register here for the race, and you can click here to download a printable flyer.
