Passing the Baton of Resilience and Inclusion 650-Miles up the East Coast

The pandemic kept people apart. The Achilles Resilience Relay brought people back together. Athletes with disabilities and their guides completed a 650-mile relay running, riding and walking from Charlotte, NC, to New York, NY, from June 26 to July 10. With each baton pass, it personified overcoming adversity and shed light on the 26% of Americans living with a disability.
