Dear Karen,

Francesco Magisano, our Director of the NYC Metro Region, knows first hand the impact of Achilles International. 

“When you’re faced with a challenge, you’re either going to figure out how to adapt or you’re not and you’re going to fail. Failure wasn’t an option for me so I had to adapt. That's when I found out about Achilles,” he says in a recent Humans of HOKA blog. "I was never able to participate in mainstream athletics growing up due to my low vision and wasn’t aware of the opportunities around me. Achilles helps reframe what’s possible and breaks down barriers to achieving new goals. It’s not about the miles, it’s about the smiles.”

Now is your chance to help us create more smiles and double the impact on the lives of athletes like those Francesco works with everyday. From now until December 31, all gifts made to Achilles are matched up to $50,000!
