Summary
Benjamin Hall plans to climb more than 2,000 steps up One World Trade Center on Sunday, using prosthetic legs to raise money for Gold Star families and families of fallen first responders.
Hall said the 104-story ascent is meant to show people facing hardship that they can keep going, while also supporting Tunnel to Towers' mission of providing mortgage-free homes to families of fallen heroes.
Dr. Joe Alderete, the military trauma surgeon who helped save Hall after he was critically wounded in Ukraine in 2022, will climb alongside him in the foundation's 10th annual tower event.
The fundraiser will bring together 1,250 participants at One World Trade Center, with the Sept. 11-linked event taking place months before the 25th anniversary of the 2001 attacks.
