A total of 343 firefighters died in the terrorist attacks on Sept. 11, 2001 and 341 more firefighters have died since from their illnesses acquired while working at Ground Zero – on Saturday, FDNY firefighters cycled across Connecticut in remembrance of their sacrifice.

The Milford Fire Department served as a rest stop for dozens of firefighters cycling across Connecticut in the 13th annual FDNY 343 Ride. The tour began out of Sherwood Island State Park and ended at Mohegan Sun – 95 miles in all.

“When Ride 343 reached out, there were no questions asked,” Milford Fire Battalion Chief Adam Hansen said. “The only question was, ‘What else can we do?’”

“A quick break, we fill up our water bottles and keep going,” Greg Gatto, of Long Island, said.

“It’s a long ride,” Massapequa’s Vince Miller said. “During, you don’t even think about it. You just keep riding, and you think about everybody else and the pain they felt running up the stairs and the towers and everything else that went along with it.”

The next stop was in East Haven, where Building Homes for Heroes unveiled a new, mortgage-free home for retired Army Specialist Evan Marcy.

“He joined the service right after the attacks on 9/11,” said Larry Mack, a retired Engine 50, Ladder 19 fireman. “The kid lost his leg [in Afghanistan], so we’ve teamed up with Building Homes for Heroes and it’s their 343rd house, so it’s fitting that one of our own blood gets this house on this anniversary.”

“It’s actually brought our ride full circle,” Gatto said.

Those lost on September 11 are front-of-mind in downtown Milford every day. Their 9/11 Memorial features the names of three Milford residents who died. The…

A 13-year tradition at Mohegan Sun is 31 stories up.

UNCASVILLE, Conn. — High-limit gaming is nothing new at Mohegan Sun except when it happens on the roof of the casino; That happens at the end of each Summer for the “Over the Edge” challenge. 

For 13 years, mild-mannered folks have channeled their inner superhero to rappel down the Sky Tower to raise money for the Special Olympics of Connecticut.

“It’s a sold-out event with well over 90 participants,” said Debbie Horne, the director of communications and marketing for the Special Olympics of Connecticut. “We’re hoping for over 100 thousand dollars, and I think we’re super close to our goal if we haven’t met it.”

“Over the Edge is a company that supports non-profits by going down high-rise buildings,” said Daryl Byrne, the site and safety supervisor for “Over the Edge.” and a retired firefighter. “Some people come with no experience at all, trying to hang their backsides off a building and be able to go down it – so it encourages them to take a step that maybe they’ve never taken before.”

As the day progressed, dozens and dozens of people finished descending the Mohegan Sun Sky Tower, all with a lifelong memory. 

Al Gorski, a Connecticut State Police detective said after he came down the 270-foot tower, “It was fun, it was something exhilarating, and something different.” 

“It doesn’t get old, it’s always something good and trying to do something good for somebody else,” said Byrne.
