00:00:05,080 --> 00:00:07,080
Speaker 1: many different ways. I was watching another story last night

4
00:00:07,120 --> 00:00:10,000
Speaker 1: about how this incredible woman and her kids they now

5
00:00:10,080 --> 00:00:12,560
Speaker 1: have been given a mortgage free a home because she

6
00:00:12,720 --> 00:00:16,200
Speaker 1: lost her husband. Her husband sacrificed his life serving our

7
00:00:16,200 --> 00:00:18,200
Speaker 1: country and thanks to Tunnel to Towers one of the

8
00:00:18,239 --> 00:00:21,840
Speaker 1: many I think they did twenty five mortgage free homes yesterday.

9
00:00:22,520 --> 00:00:23,600
Speaker 1: That's cool.

10
00:00:24,040 --> 00:00:25,240

16
00:00:42,080 --> 00:00:44,560
Speaker 1: all not only making us more aware of what Tuntle

17
00:00:44,800 --> 00:00:47,000
Speaker 1: Tunnel to Towers is all about, but also raising money.

18
00:00:47,200 --> 00:00:51,240

Speaker 3: Elvis, Hello, my friend, So, I am so eternally grateful

22
00:01:01,360 --> 00:01:04,399
Speaker 3: to have you allow me to come on your show

23
00:01:04,840 --> 00:01:09,280
Speaker 3: to talk about this amazing event because let me tell you,

24
00:01:09,319 --> 00:01:12,720
Speaker 3: there are a lot of organizations out there, and a

25
00:01:12,760 --> 00:01:16,920
Speaker 3: lot of organizations help first responders, but no one does

26
00:01:16,959 --> 00:01:20,919
Speaker 3: it like Tunnel to Towers. Do you know? My involvement

27
00:01:21,040 --> 00:01:26,720
Speaker 3: started in twenty fourteen when two cops were assassinated in Brooklyn,

28
00:01:27,160 --> 00:01:32,839
Speaker 3: Officers Ramos and lou and Tunnel to Towers paid off

29
00:01:32,880 --> 00:01:38,920
Speaker 3: the mortgages for their families, not weeks later, not months later,

30
00:01:39,720 --> 00:01:44,080
Speaker 3: days later. Wow. So when they started the World Trade

31
00:01:44,120 --> 00:01:47,560
Speaker 3: Center climb, I thought I am in because no one

32
00:01:47,640 --> 00:01:48,960
Speaker 3: does it like them.

33
00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:52,160
Speaker 2: It's true, it's true, and they do so many things.

34
00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:54,240
Speaker 1: I mean, you know another thing they do that I

35
00:01:54,280 --> 00:01:56,720
Speaker 1: love is they keep the nine to eleven story alive.

36
00:01:56,800 --> 00:01:59,040
Speaker 1: There are a lot of kids that go to school

37
00:01:59,080 --> 00:02:00,680
Speaker 1: every day and they're never gonnae the story about what

38
00:02:00,720 --> 00:02:03,280
Speaker 1: happened on September eleventh, two thousand and one. They keep

39
00:02:03,360 --> 00:02:07,880
Speaker 1: those those stories in the headlines for kids and teachers

40
00:02:08,520 --> 00:02:10,320
Speaker 1: to teach the kids every single year. Just one of

41
00:02:10,360 --> 00:02:14,079
Speaker 1: the many things they do. So you've been climbing the

42
00:02:14,120 --> 00:02:15,160
Speaker 1: tower for how many years?

43
00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:19,880
Speaker 3: It's payed out of the nine Okay, I'm obsessed. Tell this.

44
00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:26,000
Speaker 2: You entered the game late early. Actually, I think it's amazing.

45
00:02:26,040 --> 00:02:28,600
Speaker 1: Any any thoughts about what Shelley's doing here and what

46
00:02:28,639 --> 00:02:32,960
Speaker 1: we can do to help out. Is it possible for

47
00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:36,560
Speaker 1: people to do the actual tunnel to towers? Because you

48
00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:39,519
Speaker 1: guys run that walk that right, who are not super

49
00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:40,400
Speaker 1: trained at doing this?

50
00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:41,400
Speaker 2: Amateur?

51
00:02:41,919 --> 00:02:45,320
Speaker 3: Yeah you bet? No amateurs allowed. No, it's not. I'm

52
00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:48,120
Speaker 3: an amateur. I'm not an athlete. Okay you know? Yeah,

53
00:02:48,160 --> 00:02:48,880
Speaker 3: but you trained?

54
00:02:48,880 --> 00:02:50,120
Speaker 2: Are you leading up to it?

55
00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:50,440
Speaker 3: Yes?

56
00:02:50,560 --> 00:02:51,960
Speaker 2: I Doah, what do you do?

57
00:02:52,160 --> 00:02:55,080
Speaker 3: I have a hill up to my house. It's three

58
00:02:55,160 --> 00:02:58,480
Speaker 3: quarters of a mile long, and I do that hill

59
00:02:59,639 --> 00:03:03,840
Speaker 3: for times once a week because that's the equivalent of

60
00:03:03,880 --> 00:03:06,400
Speaker 3: one hundred and four stories. Now, here's the secret to

61
00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:10,120
Speaker 3: the World Trade Center. Climb to you know, to get

62
00:03:10,160 --> 00:03:13,280
Speaker 3: through it and to have a good time, you know,

63
00:03:13,520 --> 00:03:17,120
Speaker 3: record time for yourself. You use the handrail to pull

64
00:03:17,160 --> 00:03:19,720
Speaker 3: yourself up. I don't have a handrail on the hill.

65
00:03:19,960 --> 00:03:25,480
Speaker 1: Oh okay, right, yeah, well not yet anyway. What is

66
00:03:25,520 --> 00:03:26,359
Speaker 1: your record time?

67
00:03:26,440 --> 00:03:26,600
Speaker 3: Though?

68
00:03:26,760 --> 00:03:26,919
Speaker 2: Oh?

69
00:03:26,960 --> 00:03:29,400
Speaker 3: Well, last year, now, I'm very proud. Last year I

70
00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:33,240
Speaker 3: entered a new age category and I came yes. So

71
00:03:33,360 --> 00:03:38,440
Speaker 3: I was so grateful to be older seventy and I

72
00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:42,160
Speaker 3: came in number one among the women and men. Now

73
00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:45,520
Speaker 3: here's the obsession part. Everyone who has done this climb,

74
00:03:45,600 --> 00:03:48,760
Speaker 3: and I have a team of twenty two. Everyone who's

75
00:03:48,760 --> 00:03:51,600
Speaker 3: done it wants to do it again, and the goal

76
00:03:51,720 --> 00:03:55,040
Speaker 3: is to beat your own time. You become obsessed. Wow,

77
00:03:55,680 --> 00:03:57,680
Speaker 3: but I mean it's obsessed and you're doing good at

78
00:03:57,720 --> 00:03:58,880
Speaker 3: the same time, of course.

79
00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:02,480
Speaker 2: Wow, Congress, Well yeah, yeah, congratulations.

80
00:04:02,480 --> 00:04:06,440
Speaker 3: Well, don't congratulate me yet. You'll be fine.

81
00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:08,520
Speaker 1: You'll do it, You'll be fine. I'm not worried about

82
00:04:08,560 --> 00:04:10,960
Speaker 1: you at all. My money's on that horse, as they say.

83
00:04:11,280 --> 00:04:13,800
Speaker 1: But I know, but you know, some people will it's

84

85
00:04:17,240 --> 00:04:18,239
Speaker 1: let's keep that in mind.

86
00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:19,960
