Team Achilles. We were able to be interviewed on the radio prior to the run and share further about Team Achilles!
One of my favorite moments was at one of the stops where a mom came up to us and wanted more information and said she was so excited to share with her son who didn't feel he could run any longer since he lost his sight.
The Achilles International mission states: Our mission is to enable people with all types of disabilities to participate in mainstream athletics in order to promote personal achievement, enhance self esteem and lower barriers to living a fulfilling life.
I have the baton that was exchanged at each station. I will treasure this little link of a memory of their incredible kindness, doing something new, a little scary and very rewarding. |
