NEWS & NOTES

Philly Achilles Conquers the Disney Half Marathon

It was an inspiring weekend in Walt Disney World, with Achilles athletes from all over the country coming together for some truly remarkable races. All three of our Philly Achilles athletes achieved new Personal Records this past Saturday, and several of our volunteers also earned finishers' medals. Congratulations to everyone who participated, and a special thanks to Cigna for their ongoing support and generous Achilles sponsorship!

New this Weekend!

Our Couch to 5k program starts this weekend! We will be targeting Bookin' For Lookin' as our goal race on April 19th. Interested or have questions? Email Pat at patrick.mccool@cigna.com.

Come Join Us!

We have two fundraisers coming up!
On Wednesday January 28, 1518 Bar and Grill will be hosting us from 5-9pm. Wristbands are $5 at the door, extending happy hour food and drink specials through 9pm, and all proceeds go directly back to Achilles. So tell all your friends about this way to support Achilles without breaking a sweat!

Join us for an ice cream social fundraiser at Ben and Jerry's at 17th & Sansom from 5pm-7pm on Tuesday, February 3rd. Mention Achilles and we will receive 20% of the proceeds of all ice cream purchased during this timeframe. Check them out on Facebook at BenJerryPhilly, and on Twitter at BenJerry_Philly.
