This year, Voluntarios Balcón al Mar is proud to welcome Adam, a firefighter from New York City, to its team. For the first time in 24 years, Adam will not be at his firehouse on September 11. Each year he has paid tribute to his fallen colleagues by reading a brother’s name and taking on a physical challenge ahead of the memorial mass.
Adam served with Ladder 5, whose fire engine was among those seen beneath the rubble in the aftermath of the attacks.
In Javea, he will continue his tradition in a moving way. On Wednesday September 11, at 8.43am—the moment the first plane struck the Twin Towers—Adam will swim from the port to the Parador and back, in memory of all those who lost their lives.
Voluntarios Balcón al Mar invites the community to come together on this day, to stand in charity with Adam and to honour the bravery, sacrifice and resilience of firefighters across the world.
