Achilles International is pleased to announce that the Achilles Freedom Team will once again compete in the Detroit Free Press Marathon thanks to the continued generosity and support of GM and Metro Detroit Chevy Dealers From protecting and serving on the frontlines, to now racing across the start line, 19 wounded veterans will have the opportunity to participate in various celebrations of marathon weekend.

We congratulate longtime Achilles volunteer guides Brianna Nielsen and Jeffrey Gelband on their wedding this past August and thank them for their generosity. In lieu of a registry, the couple asked their wedding guests to donate to Achilles to help us transform the lives of athletes living with a disability.

We are just under two months away until the 2021 TCS NYC Marathon, one of the biggest events of the “Achilles Marathon Tour” season. In 2019, more than 245 Achilles athletes with disabilities participated. Thanks to the generosity, commitment and support of The Moody Endowment, hundreds more will be able to cross the finish line this year and beyond.
