Tom Cruise Raises Funds to Help 9/11 Rescue Workers

Cruise appeared Thursday at a private dinner in Manhattan to raise money for the New York Rescue Workers Detoxification Project, a program he co-founded in 2002. His wife, Katie Holmes, also attended.

One observer said “He said how grateful he was to everyone for supporting the project. He took time out to speak to every person. It took him an hour to get through the hallway. He was talking to everyone. It was genuine, nothing phony about it.”  

The program, based on principles developed by Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard, offers free treatment to emergency workers who suffer breathing difficulties and other health problems stemming from exposure to toxins at ground zero after the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks.

Tom Cruise stated: “Nearly six years later, many are still paying a price for their heroic service at the World Trade Center. This is a profound injustice. … This project has demonstrated that recovery is not only possible, but an incontrovertible fact.”

785 people have now done the program and many have expressed life changing successes.

Each worker is given vitamins and nutritional counseling and participates in daily exercise and sauna sessions. The program takes about 30 days to complete.

Councilman Addabbo also took the opportunity to express his anger at the program’s critics.  He said, “I cannot stand idly by and see something that is working be ignored. The project seems to work. I’ve seen it firsthand.”
