September Rising: My 2026 9/11 Stairclimb
On September 11th 2021 I attended the Greensboro 9/11 Stairclimb for the first time ever on the 20th year anniversary of the 9/11 attacks. Because 9/11 had a big impact on me my whole life growing up I felt it was my duty to attend and participate. Walking to preserve the history of 9/11 and all its heroes is very important to me. What I actually could’ve imagined was that 5 years later I would still be attending and I’m glad to say that this year was the biggest and perhaps most important year I’ve ever attended.

Then, as the aircraft came in to land, it began to shake violently. Moments later, Yemenia Airways Flight 626 crashed into the Indian Ocean. There were 153 people on board. Bahia was twelve years old and could barely swim. Yet she was the only person to survive the crash. She found herself alone in the darkness of the ocean, clinging to a piece of wreckage and waiting to see whether anyone would find her.
