Review for Achilles International, New York, NY, USA
4 weeks after my husband lost both of his legs in Iraq, representatives from the Achilles Track Club came to his hospital room and suggested he come out to participate in a hand crank bike race. A week later they invited him to race in the New York Marathon. As it turns out, what they actually invited him to do was become part of a new family. To date, my husband has completed 1 full marathon and 2 half marathons with this amazing club. They gave him hope and focus, and they gave me a way to connect with other wives and mothers who understood what I was going through. They inspire people to stand up and live their best lives in the face of devastating adversity and that is truly a gift.

If Achilles had 10 million dollars they could buy 500 hand crank bikes and sponsor 5000 severely injured soldiers for races all over the globe.
