The journey to the finish line for Andy–a mother and member of Achilles South Africa–was long and challenging, but one that she will remember forever. “The year of training has been the happiest I have had for a long time. Getting out there, being with people, rain or shine, changed me in more ways than I could imagine,” says Andy. As she reflects on an accomplishment more than two decades in the making, Andy has a message for those considering a gift to Achilles:



“Funding is a huge problem, and people with disabilities often are left with no resources. The work Achilles does is incredible–imagine how much more they could do with more support.”

Today, all donations will be doubled, and the impact of your gift for athletes with Andy will go twice as far thanks to the 50K Challenge! With your support, Achilles athletes around the world can continue to run, walk, and roll to their start line.
