“We are incredibly proud of what United in Stride has become and are thrilled that it has found a new home with Achilles International. Achilles is an organization that not only shares our values and commitment to inclusion, but also has the international infrastructure to carry this work forward in meaningful ways. For years, United in Stride members have expressed interest in having local chapters and deeper community connections. Through Achilles’ chapter network, athletes and guides will now have expanded opportunities to connect locally while continuing to grow the program’s impact nationwide.”

— Amanda Trombley, Senior Director of Marketing and Communications at the Massachusetts Association for the Blind and Visually Impaired

“I am thankful that MABVI is willing to pass along the stewardship to Achilles International so the mission of United in Stride can impact more lives than ever before! By pairing Achilles’ chapter programs with the ability to allow members to also independently connect wherever they live, running, walking, triathlon training, and more, will be more accessible than it has ever been. Each new connection made is life changing and each member should have the opportunity to experience the joy and benefits that outdoor recreation has to offer.”

— Richard Hunter, United in Stride, Co-Founder.
