a Journey for 9/11
A Journey for 9/11 is a 501(C)(3) not-for-profit public charity and your contributions are tax-deductible. If you like to make a contribution by phone, call 877-WALK911 (925-5911) to donate.
Moved from the events of September 11th, 2001, retired New York Football Giants George Martin decided to use his “celebrity” from his 14 years of playing professional football to help raise funds for those individuals suffering from their selfless efforts as rescue and recovery workers from Ground Zero. For the selfless efforts of the rescue and recover workers, George founded a Journey for 9/11. Journey is the ongoing nationwide initiative to raise awareness about and funds to help mitigate the serious medical conditions (including chronic bronchial disease, leukemia and other cancers, and post traumatic stress disorder) faced by thousands of 9/11 rescue and recovery workers who are now ill as a direct result of their service at Ground Zero. From September 16, 2007, to June 21, 2008, George traversed on foot 3,000+ miles and raised more than $2 million matching dollars in the process for this non-profit organization. On his Journey, George passed through portions of 13 states, including New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, Tennessee, Arkansas, Oklahoma, Texas, New Mexico, Arizona and California. The retired NFL great lost more than 40 pounds during his trek, which he visited schools, fire houses, police stations, government offices, and other places where he raised awareness about the plight of Ground Zero workers. Please join us for our annual Giant Steps for 9/11 Walk to commemorate GEORGE MARTIN’S historic walk across america supporting the heroes of ground zero.

Ever since the Daily News started publishing the articles about the struggles and sicknesses that the surviving rescue and recovery workers at World Trader Center have developed, I have been looking for a charity that would help them. It is disgraceful that the government has forgotten about these people. My brother was a victim but the men and women who worked tirelessly at the site in dangerous conditions (and the policemen and firefighters who rushed into the towers) are true heroes. Thank you George Martin for creating this charity and making sure people don't forget. "

I remember what an elequent and articulate speaker you were on those local TV shows back in the early '80s like "The Warner Wolf Show" and the "Bill Parcells Show" and loved your hustle and play. I'll never forget that play in the '86 when you tipped that pass from John Elway, intercepted it, and then ran it back for a touchdown. The only person to catch up and tackle you was LT. I learned about your cause last week in a radio interview you did on WFAN in New York, and then was reminded again on Peter King's column, "Monday Morning Quarterback."

These brave men and women did what they did not for photo ops, publicity, or political benefit. They went out there and broke their backs and risked their lives because they believed that if we all pull together, if we all pitch in, we can overcome anything. It would be a blessed day if the political leaders of this great nation took a lesson from these brave men and women. These heroes who are suffering and dying now deserve more than our praise. They deserve our help. "

When I heard of his Journey, I was extremely inspired by it. It is a beautiful, blessed thing to do, and I felt I had to contribute my small part to his quest. I lost my father last year. He made me a New York Giants Fan, and as such, I feel an obligation to support my team. My father did a good job of taking care of his kids in his passing. As a result, I feel I must share with others because life is precious. If you are among the fortunate ones, you must help the less fortunate. Especially those who sacrificed their well being for others on that terrible day. They are true heros, and they deserve to be taken care of. Bless you George. Sincerely, Larry Ploscowe"

I don't know if $10 million was too high of a goal, but in my book, George's actions and committment to others is woth much more than whatever financial amount he ultimately reaches in this endeavor. He is truly an American hero and someone that we can look up to for exemplifying all that is good in the human race and in our country. May God continue to bless him and his family."

I did just that and my career led me to move to NYC three weeks before 9/11, It seems that so many people have forgotten about what those brave men and women did during the recovey at Ground Zero. I can't thank Mr. Martin enough for helping to remind Americans that we must continue to support and honor them.
