Greetings!


Tomorrow is our annual Achilles Day of Giving. Each gift goes beyond the start or finish line. While it makes a difference in the park and the race course for people with disabilities, access to the sport of running also unlocks new possibilities in everyday life from the classroom to the job interview. Watch a video below to meet our athletes and see how Achilles redefines possible.

Why Give


"Sports can help you have a better life and prove to yourself that you can achieve anything you set your mind to.What I like most about Achilles is the connection between athletes and guides. If I had to describe it in one word, it would be 'family.' It means being able to do a sport even with a disability. Becoming part of Achilles is the best thing that could have happened to me."


 - Hugo Garcia Medina, Achilles Mexico athlete who lives with cerebral palsy
