"My 9-11 Project began to take shape after I returned from an annual check-up at the World Trade Center Health Organization," explains author, photographer and founder of My 9-11 Project, Richard Agudelo. "I saw the suffering of many first responders and over the years have witnessed the untimely deaths of too many of these heroes," Agudelo adds, "My 9-11 Project not only aims to raise funds to help prevent more of these deaths, but also helps to provide a larger platform to bring light and conversation to this unfortunate circumstance." Agudelo further states, "We not only need to honor and applaud these heroes, we need to take care of them, just as they did for us."
