Nice story in the Daily News about Susan Siller, who ran in this year’s Tunnel to Towers Run.

The widow of hero Firefighter Stephen Siller, who sprinted through the Battery Tunnel on 9/11 to get to the burning towers, ran in his footsteps for the first time Sunday.

Sarah Siller took part in the seventh annual Tunnel to Towers Run, which honors her husband, whose selflessness on that tragic day will live on forever, she said.

“It was time,” the Staten Island mother of five said.

“It was a very emotional experience, and to go through the tunnel and hear everybody cheering was amazing,” said Siller, 41, of Staten Island.

On the morning of Sept. 11, 2001, Stephen Siller, 34, a firefighter with Squad 1 in Park Slope, Brooklyn, raced on foot through the smoke-filled tunnel carrying 80 pounds of gear when he wasnot allowed to drive to Manhattan.

He was last seen alive at West and Liberty Sts.; the rest of his fire company was already there, and they all perished.

Siller’s story is memorialized in the annual 5K run that began in 2002. For the past six years, Sarah Siller stood at the finish line and cheered on runners.
