Albuquerque Area Fire Fighters Sponsor American Cancer Society 'Climb to Conquer Cancer'

Updated On: Aug 30, 2010 (14:20:00)

The Albuquerque Area Firefighters, IAFF Local 244 sponsored the 4th Annual American Cancer Society CLIMB TO CONQUER CANCER event.  This was a non-competitive event to raise money and awareness to fight cancer. Not only did our volunteers hand out water to the participants, but they were also able speak to those that had lost a loved one to cancer and also to the survivors of cancer.   Senator Timothy Keller stopped by our booth to thank our Union for endorsing him and for being an active organization in our community.  The Director of the American Cancer Society likewise wanted to let us know that he was very thankful for us being a sponsor. 

The IAFF Local 244 Executive Board would like to thank Chaplain Mike Trujillo and the Albuquerque Fire Fighters Wives Auxiliary for their hard work.

Lt. Martin Salazar Represents Us Proudly in TOUR OF DUTY Run

Updated On: Aug 21, 2010 (13:26:00)

Brother Martin Salazar responds to the call for the TOUR of DUTY cross country run to New York City  in honor of 9/11. He volunteered to drive a 34ft Command Vehicle to Oklahoma City (on his own time) to facilitate continued rehab for the runners. He will also join them for the run in Oklahoma. We have arranged for IAFF Local 157 members to greet Martin when he arrives. 

TOUR OF DUTY - "On Thursday August 12th 2010 at precisely 8.46 AM the Tour of Duty run made its way from the Santa Monica Pier, Los Angeles, aiming to arrive in New York City on September 11th 4,600 miles and 31 days later, it is a journey that we are very much looking forward to.

The beginnings of this run, this event, go back many years. The Melbourne members of the Tour of Duty team have been participating in, and organizing road running events since 1983, claiming the World record for marathon relay road running whilst circumnavigating Australia in 1983 (15,600KMs), then again in 1991, increasing that record to 17,500KMs. It is a long and proud History.

That men and women that answer the call to duty, that live their lives selflessly for others every day, that believe it is their duty is to serve, would fall on this day, would not go home, would leave behind loved ones, would make the ultimate sacrifice. It is this awareness of family and the understanding of the wider global community of people that sacrifice their lives through service that initiated The Tour of Duty. The Tour of Duty Run is an emotional statement. It is the coming together of Australian and American fire-fighters, police officers, military personnel and emergency service workers. We run to remember the people of 9/11, to honor their sacrifice, their courage, their devotion and commitment to duty. Every step of this run is a part of our statement, however humble, that their commitment to duty, to service, will never be forgotten."
