A Run to Remember was created as an event to remind us of the men and women that lost their lives that horrible day.  From the men and women in and around the towers of NY, in a field in Pennsylvania or at the US Pentagon, we remember the sacrifices that you faced by an evil force.  The Lawrenceville Police Department decided to host this day to not only remember our fallen Heroes, but to expand our future and the dangers that may lie ahead.
