"Frank, I know this was said earlier, but it's worth repeating. You embody the words of Saint Francis of Assisi, ‘While we have time, let us do good.’ We celebrate Frank 20 years of doing that," Scott said. "Frank's brother, Stephen Siller, was one of those heroes. And as we've learned, he strapped 60 pounds of gear on his back and ran through the Brooklyn Battery Tunnel to the Twin Towers to save people."

"Tonight, all of us at Fox News are humbled by being honored, but we know the true honorees are the heroes of 9/11. When it comes to honoring those heroes and their sacrifice, Frank doesn't just talk the talk. You literally walk the walk. A 500-mile journey, The Never Forget Walk to honor his father and all first responders is another kind of heroism. We are proud at FOX News to show Frank on this journey on the walk that helps others heal," Scott added. 

Each September, the Tunnel to Towers 5K Run & Walk in New York symbolizes Stephen Siller’s final footsteps from the foot of the former Brooklyn Battery Tunnel to the Twin Towers and pays homage to the 343 FDNY firefighters, law enforcement officers, and thousands of civilians who lost their lives on September 11, 2001. Proceed from the Tunnel to Towers 5K Run & Walk support the Foundation’s programs, including those benefiting first responders, and catastrophically injured service members. The nonprofit also organizes a variety of other events to benefit veterans and first responders, including fundraisers and mentorship initiatives.
