Just want to express my sincere thanks to the Achilles International Foundation for allowing me to participate in the New York City Marathon. I have done several marathons in the past, none of which have been as accommodating regarding the extra logistical stuff concerning disabilities. Their expertise allowed me to focus solely on the race, rather than the headaches surrounding the marathon. By that I mean moving the wheelchair equipment from start to finish, making provisions for our bicycles, and arranging accessible accommodations.
