Zach Stinson with his medal and the BAA CEO Jack Fleming

Dear Margaret,


From New York City to Mexico City, Achilles athletes gave it their all at the Boston Marathon on Monday. We congratulate those who placed within their divisions:


  • Zach Stinson, Achilles Freedom Team, first place, men’s handcycle division
  • Corey Petersen, Achilles Freedom Team, first place wheelchair T51/T52 division
  • Ary Carlos Santos Dias, Achilles Brazil, second place, Para T13 division
  • Devann Murphy, Achilles NYC, third place, women’s handcycle division


Marathon race weekends are a time for athletes with disabilities and their volunteer guides from around the world to come together and celebrate their achievements as a team. We roll out the red carpet, especially for our military veterans with disabilities. These special memories would not be possible without your support. Will you help us transform more lives? View highlights below to see your support in action.

"Whether your sneaker or hand propels you forward, crossing a marathon finish line first is an epic achievement to celebrate,” said Emily Glasser, President and CEO.


Boston Marathon day was full of impressive firsts and new PR’s. Dylan Bourne of Achilles Los Angeles, who was guided by HOKA athlete Mike Wardian, conquered his goal of completing a marathon in under three hours with a 16 minute PR! Watch the video at left to hear what it felt like.
