STP Podcast Special: Remembering Heroes with Dan Bristol

Spread The Positive Podcast

In a profoundly touching episode, we're joined by Dan Bristol, a man deeply connected to the incredible non-profit "Tunnels to Towers", an organization inspired by the selfless heroism of firefighter Stephen Gerard Siller, who sacrificed his life on that fateful day of September 11th, 2001. With over $500,000,000 donated, the foundation stands as a beacon of hope, dedicating itself to supporting the families of fallen first responders and service members.

Dan shares the heart-wrenching journey of his own son, Spencer Bristol, who was tragically lost in the line of duty in 2019. With a newly built home and a family to support, the future seemed uncertain until Tunnels to Towers reached out. The weight of a mortgage was lifted from Spencer's young family, allowing them a moment to breathe amidst their grief.

Moved by this act of kindness, Dan has since devoted himself to the cause, aiming to rally 100,000 members to join with a monthly contribution of just $11. He has also taken on the role of "Volunteer Race Director for Tunnels to Towers 5k Run & Walk Hendersonville", with the third annual event set for October 21, 2023. This episode is not just a tribute but a call to action. Join us in remembering and honoring the sacrifices of so many, while finding ways to give back.
