Donegal firefighters have embarked on a 343-mile charity cycle from Boston to New York as a tribute to the victims of the September 11 attacks. The journey, organized by the firefighters themselves, began with an unexpected gesture from local residents who gifted them a heartfelt send-off before they left Ireland. The cyclists aim to raise funds for a memorial project in memory of those affected by the tragedy. The route retraces the path of the 9/11 emergency responders, symbolizing both remembrance and resilience. The event highlights the enduring connection between the Irish community and the events of that day.
