2006 Achilles Walk for Hope and Possibility
Central Park, New York City
August 6, 2006
8 AM

In 2005, a small-but-mighty CRPS team was invited to participate in the Achilles Walk for Hope and Possibility. Spearheaded by Ed and Lisa Delia, the team raised more than $10,000 in pledges. Corporate support from the Celgene Corporation and a private matching grant helped us raise more than $25,000 for research.

This year, with a walk in Minneapolis on June 17 and in New York on August 6, we plan on raising more than $100,000.

FAQ

What is Achilles?
The Achilles Track Club (ATC) was established in 1983 by Dick Traum, an above the knee amputee marathoner, to encourage disabled people to participate in long-distance running with the general public. Today, Achilles is an international, non-profit organization that provides support, training, and technical expertise to runners at all levels. Achilles includes people with all kinds of disabilities. In 2005, CRPS/RSD was added to the list of participants. Runners participate with crutches, in wheelchairs, on prostheses, and without aids.
