/ The Inaugural

9/11 Legacy
Challenge.

911 minutes of movement · every mile carries a name.

This September, I’m inviting you to move for someone who matters.

Sweat for Sacrifice is launching as an inaugural 911-minute movement challenge, created in honor of my two uncles, Tim Goss and Harry D’Onofrio — and for every person carrying a name, a story, or a legacy they never want forgotten.

The goal is simple: complete 911 minutes of intentional movement during the month of September.

Walk, lift, run, bike, stretch, swim, golf, play pickleball, dance, take a class, or move however you can. Every minute counts.

/ In honor of

Two uncles. One legacy.

Timothy Paul Goss · FDNY Marine Co. 1

Timothy Paul Goss

“Uncle Timmy”

  • FDNY Marine Firefighter · Marine Co. 1
  • Over two decades of service with the FDNY

A husband, father, brother, uncle, grandfather, and friend. Uncle Timmy was humble, loyal, giving, and deeply loved. He served with strength, showed up for the people he loved, and gave quietly without ever needing credit.

After September 11th, he served at Ground Zero in the aftermath of the attacks. He passed away on June 17, 2026 from a 9/11-related illness.

/ More about Uncle Timmy

Uncle Timmy was so much more. He was an avid fisherman who felt most at home on the water. All he ever wanted was to build a life doing what he loved, and that is exactly what he set out to do.

In 2006, Uncle Timmy and his best friend, Dean, caught a 540-pound swordfish — a catch that still holds the New York State record. It was an incredible accomplishment and a perfect reflection of the life he loved.

Some of my favorite childhood memories are the simplest ones: swimming in the backyard, grilling, laughing, and spending time together. Those moments were some of the best parts of my childhood, and they mean even more to me now.

His legacy is one of service, humility, family, and love.

Forever remembered. Forever honored.

Harry D'Onofrio

“Uncle Harry”

  • NYPD Emergency Service Unit
  • West Sayville Fire Chief
  • More than four decades in fire service
  • Over two decades with the NYPD

A husband, father, brother, uncle, grandfather, and friend. Uncle Harry was a leader, protector, and steady presence for his family and community. He gave his life to service and was the kind of man people knew they could count on.

After September 11th, he served at Ground Zero in the aftermath of the attacks. He passed away on April 14, 2021 from a 9/11-related illness.

/ More about Uncle Harry

Uncle Harry was so much more. He was an avid NASCAR fan, an incredibly talented woodworker, and essentially the comedian of the family. He had a natural ability to make everyone laugh, and if he was in the room, you could count on hearing laughter.

He was also always taking pictures, and there was no getting out of it if Uncle Harry had his camera nearby. He captured countless family moments, usually while making everyone laugh at the same time.

And in his house, it was always a bad day to be an Oreo or a bowl of chips and dip — they never stood a chance. That was Uncle Harry: funny, talented, full of personality, and someone who made every room brighter just by being in it.

His legacy is one of courage, leadership, devotion, family, and love.

Service. Strength. Legacy.

This challenge was created in their honor and dedicated to every family still carrying the impact of September 11th, service, sacrifice, and loss.

/ Where it started

A personal tradition

that became something bigger.

After my Uncle Harry passed away in 2021, I started doing something every September to honor him and everyone lost on 9/11.

Living in Florida, away from New York and away from my family, I would climb 110 floors twice on the stairmaster — one climb for each tower — in honor of Uncle Harry and the fallen of September 11th.

It was simple, but it meant something to me. It became my own way to pause, remember, and move with purpose.

Last September, one of my gym clients asked if he could do it with me. We climbed together, and it reminded me that remembrance does not have to be carried alone.

Then this June, my Uncle Timmy passed away. At the same time, I had just started Sweat With Slay after leaving my role as a master trainer to build something of my own. In the middle of grieving, building, and trying to figure out what came next, I kept thinking about my uncles, my cousin Danielle running for Tunnel to Towers, FDNY Fire Family Transport helping my family, and all the families who carry stories connected to September 11th.

That is where Sweat for Sacrifice came from.

Not everyone has access to a stairmaster. Not everyone wants to climb 110 floors. Not everyone moves the same way.

So this became 911 minutes of movement during the month of September — something more people could do in their own way, for their own person, with their own story.

Every minute counts.

The point is not perfection. The point is purpose.
