Volunteer of the Month

Achilles is proud to honor Halina Koralewski as our Volunteer of the Month! Halina is tireless in her support of the Achilles Polish team members. She stays with them while they're in NYC for the marathon, and takes care of everything. She also opens her heart and her home to some of the team members. During the marathon, Halina waits for EVERY Polish athlete to cross the finish line and then takes them all back to the hotel. She is like a mother to them! 

Throughout the year, she contacts the American Embassy in Poland and the Polish embassy in NYC to insure that all the team members get their visas. In between all those efforts, Halina spent a year translating Dick’s book, “A Victory for Humanity” into Polish, and then sold copies of the book to raise money for Achilles. Our heartfelt thanks and appreciation go to Halina for all her love and support! Please check out this video to see just how wonderful Halina is!
