Dear Karen,


As 2022 comes to a close, I want to reflect on the journey from our early beginnings as a track club in Central Park to the international powerhouse we are today. This past year alone, we:


  • Empowered 10,000 athletes with disabilities.
  • Engaged 4,500 volunteers. 
  • Hired Chapter Leads in Boston, Chicago, Houston and Washington D.C. to grow our vibrant community in major U.S. running markets.
  • Empowered 100 veterans with disabilities from the Achilles Freedom Team to cross marathon finish lines.
  • Launched an International Scholarship program to support even more athletic goals.
  • Expanded our in-person youth workouts in Houston, TX and expanded our adaptive cycling program in underserved boroughs of NYC.

With the 40th Anniversary of Achilles International on the horizon, we have even greater goals for the year ahead. With your continued support, we will reach even more youth, adults and veterans with disabilities and provide greater access to adaptive equipment and racing opportunities.


Thank you for your energy. It brings the Achilles Spirit to life. We wish you a Happy Holidays and New Year.


Sincerely,


Emily Glasser

President and CEO
