Achilles International
Achilles International will be developing a Staten Island Chapter. Achilles International is the leading adaptive running nonprofit with over 60 chapters around the world serving people with all types of disabilities. Achilles NYC is the flagship location and the primary goal is to recruit and engage people to run, walk, or roll in parks around the five boroughs of NYC with all necessary adaptations and accommodations. Their programs serve youth, adults and veterans with disabilities. The Achilles Freedom Team is an extension of the Achilles process of physical strengthening, building confidence, and generating a supportive community, the program was adapted to the specific needs of wounded, ill or injured members of the U.S. military. While weekly workouts are their foundation, they also facilitate participation in major endurance events for their members such as the New York City Marathon, the TD Five Borough Bike Tour and more.
