2006 Achilles Walk for Hope and Possibility
Central Park, New York, NY
August 6, 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.
