October 1st 11th, 2015 the founder of Footsteps For The Fallen, is running a 420 plus mile, endurance run, to honor all fallen Texas firefighters. It will start at the Beaumont Fire Museum, making its way to Houston Fire Memorial, Cy Fair Fire Memorial, Brayton Fire Field Memorial, West Fire Memorial, Abbott Fire Memorial, West EMS Memorial, Bruceville-Eddy Fire, finishing at the State Firefighter Memorial in Austin. This run has both symbolic and practical significance. Symbolically, this challenging endurance event is to honor all fallen firefighters in Texas that answered the call knowing they could be giving it all, and did. Practically, it provides a way for 30 year firefighter Tony Constanzo, to leverage his passion for endurance running by helping to raise funds to help support Footsteps For The Fallen, scholarship program.

The combination of intense conditions (rain, wind, heat, cold & hills) and 8-10 hours of non-stop running per day requires unsurpassed conditioning, resolute commitment, and unyielding support. Footsteps for the Fallen is truly an elite event, with fewer cumulative participants than the number of people who have landed on the moon. The first eight days will be 40 mile days. Day nine will be 38 miles. Day ten will be 37 miles. The last day will be 31 miles.

I can't wait to be a part of Tony's journey. Watch him overcome something unimaginable. He is one of my 100 mile family and I'm honored to call him a friend. How can I not help him do something courageous, amazing, inspiring and selfless? All for a charity he founded and pours his heart and soul into. Please help me to help him!
