SPOKANE, Wash. -- It's a fundraiser aimed to serve those who serve us.  The Tunnels to Towers 5K race is coming to Spokane this weekend.

The run started in honor of a New York fire fighter who ran three miles to get to the Twin Towers on 9/11.  All proceeds go to non-profits in the area, including helping out first responders in need.

The opening ceremony is Saturday at 9 a.m. at North Bank Shelter at 507 N Howard.  It'll cost you $25 to pre-register and $30 the day of the race.

Spokane Fire hopes to raise $50,000.  The money goes toward first responders in need all over the country, including homes for wounded warriors.  If you'd like more information, click  here.
