We're just over two months away from the Gadsden Fire Department's inaugural 9/11 Memorial Stair Climb event and walk.

This event will allow participants to symbolically climb the equivalent of the 110 stories of the World Trade Center to honor the firefighters lost that day. A 3.43-mile walk with no stairs is available as an option.

The event also supports the GFD's annual Toys from Santa program.
