Achilles Chapter Milestones

As we celebrate 50 years since Dick Traum made history by becoming the first amputee to complete the New York City Marathon, we are honoring the legacy that sparked a global movement. We invite Achilles chapter leaders to share the origin stories of your chapters, the moments and milestones that have shaped your communities, and the experiences that reflect the spirit of connection, perseverance, and inclusion at the heart of Achilles. Your stories will help celebrate not only this historic anniversary, but also the people and communities carrying that legacy forward every day.
