VIDEO: Iowans decided to pay their respects to the fallen heroes of 9/11 by going for a ride.
Over 100 motorcycles went on the 20th Anniversary American Legion Patriot Ride today starting from Big Barn Harley Davidson and passing through Polk City, Cambridge, and Elkart.
All proceeds raised from the event goes to charity.
In Ankeny, to commemorate 9/11, the Tunnels to Towers Foundation held a 5K race that has raised over $18,000.
The foundation was created in honor of firefighter Stephen Siller who raced to work when he heard the news of the first plane hitting the World Trade Center.
Siller grabbed his gear, went to the Battery Tunnel and ran to the towers.
The foundation remembered the fallen of 9/11 while raising money to give back in memory of those who lost their lives.
