There are few jobs that require the courage and selfless dedication to helping others as being a
Firefighter or First Responder. Few know this better than Tony Constanzo, a 31 year veteran
firefighter and founder of Footsteps For The Fallen. Footsteps For The Fallen is a non-profit
organization that honors the memory of Texas Firefighters who lost their lives on duty by helping
the children of Texas Firefighters & EMS First Responders with scholarships. Recently,
Constanzo announced he will be running 420 miles starting October 1st - 11th 2015, to raise
awareness, and funds for the organization, in honor of every Texas Firefighter who ever made the
ultimate sacrifice helping to keep people safe. The goal is to raise $250,000 for the scholarship
program, during this superhuman run.
“This run is to honor all fallen firefighters in Texas that answered the call knowing they could be
giving it all, and did,” commented Constanzo about the coming run. “Endurance running is one
of my passions and it's an honor to be able to leverage my passion for running and testing myself
for such an important cause.”
The elite running event will consist of a 40 mile run on the first eight days, followed by 38 miles
on day nine, 37 miles on day ten and the last days run will be 31 miles. Registration is open for
supporters who would like to do part of the run with Constanzo broke into 13 mile groups.
