SUMMARY:Tunnel to Towers 5K Run/Walk
DESCRIPTION:At last year’s Annual DEA Dinner on October 4\, 2023\, the DEA honored Members of the Service who were catastrophically injured in the line of duty. One of those members was NYC Housing Police Officer William McNamara. \nBill McNamara was appointed to the New York City Housing Police on November 19\, 1973. On Saturday\, June 10\, 1978\, while on routine\, uniformed\, foot patrol on the busy Adam Clayton Powell Boulevard in the confines of the 32 Precinct\, a man approached and asked the time. As McNamara raised his arm to look at his watch\, the drug-crazed subject grabbed McNamara’s .38 caliber gun from its holster and pumped a string of bullets into the Officer. The perp continued savagely to beat and pistol-whip P.O. McNamara\, who was only 24-years-old. Because of his severe injuries\, in that era of policing\, Officer McNamara was forced to retire and did so on September 10\, 1981. \nHe recently wrote the following to his police family: \nDear Friends\, \nI was injured in the line of duty as a NYC Police Officer years ago. Recently the Tunnel to Towers Foundation completed renovations to my home and installed their Smart Home technology. These improvements have resulted in a much safer and more functional home for me and my family. \nOver the last 20 years\, the Tunnel to Towers Foundation has assisted thousands of other first responders\, active military\, and veterans — all who have suffered a catastrophic injury or illness during their service. However\, there are many who still need assistance and\, sadly\, others who are injured each day. \nTherefore\, I will be participating in the September 29\, 2024\, Tunnel to Towers 5k walk and run to help raise funds. This is a major fundraiser for the organization with approximately 40\,000 participants. \nI am establishing a fundraising team for the event\, and I ask you to consider participating or making a donation to my team. I will be personally matching the first $5\,000 raised\, dollar for dollar. Donations to my team can be anonymous and are tax deductible. No donation is too small. Please consider donating to this worthy cause. \nhttps://nycrun.t2t.org/Race/118632/Donate/l1z9IiZvWmSYkWzw \nIf you want to join the team and run\, you can register with this link: \nhttps://nycrun.t2t.org/Race/Register/?raceId=118632&multi_use_reservation_code=3rfQnUNUFzRlvNtvcMsoq767SpLyN8aZ \nThank you for your consideration and generosity. \nBill McNamara \nThe DEA salutes retired P.O. William McNamara\, Tunnel to Towers Foundation\, and all wounded and injured Members of the Service and United States Military. \n  \n  \n
