YUMA, Ariz. (KYMA, KECY) – “If not me, then who…” Those words have a profound impact on those who serve our community to do more for others. It’s also fitting for those who will be participating in this year’s 9/11 Heroes Run.
The Travis Manion Foundation (TMF) of Yuma will be hosting this special event on September 13 at the Pacific Avenue Athletic Complex.
“You can run, you can walk, you can do cartwheels if you want to,” said Dale Dumo, a retired U.S. Marine officer who serves as a volunteer and youth mentor for the Travis Manion Foundation. “9/11 is important and ever since I started volunteering with TMF, this is one of their national initiatives. We just try to make this event as big of a remembrance and celebration for the entire Yuma community.”
TMF will be collaborating with the City of Yuma Parks and Recreation Department, Yuma Fire Department and Yuma Police Department to put this event together.
The 9/11 Heroes Run invites the community to remember and honor those who lost their lives on September 11th, 2001.
“This is just an example of how you might just get together and doesn’t matter who you talk to,” said Yuma City Councilman Art Morales, who also serves as a member of the 9/11 Heroes Run committee. “There’s always somebody willing to do something to help our current military and the veterans.”
