Team ASI Raises Money for Tunnel to Towers in Honor of a Brave Firefighter’s End of Watch
Team ASI members Amber Byrd, Arthur Eppig, Carrie Acker Hutchinson, Lisa Swiger, and Walter Winkle and their families participated in the Tunnel to Towers 5K in Brooksville, Florida on November 9th. They’ve raised $1230 so far to help this worthy cause that was especially important to our late Founder, Fred Thompson.
Team ASI participated in honor of Carrie Hutchinson’s brother, Matthew, a former firefighter in Toledo, Ohio. Carrie began organizing a team for the event, with her brother as her inspiration. Sadly, shortly after she registered Team ASI, she received news of Matthew’s passing.
Matthew was described as a brave person who lived for others. He was also kind, hard-working, and generous. He is deeply missed by everyone who knew him and whose lives he touched. Team ASI proudly wore race bibs with Matthew’s name on them as they walked/ran in honor of him.
Proceeds from the Tunnel to Towers 5K supports our nation’s fallen and catastrophically injured first responders, military heroes and their families.
