The Achilles International organization provides Athletes with Disabilities a supportive community.
Its mission is to enable people with all types of disabilities to participate in leading careers in order to bring hope, inspiration and promote the joy of success and personal achievement to all.
Achilles International member athletes in Ecuador participated in the New York City Marathon not long ago. Last month they were part of the same race in Quito, Ecuador, with incredible participation.
It is with great pride that we can say that the BMI logo appears on the race jerseys of these participants and it fills us with enormous satisfaction to have helped and sponsored these events with incredible significance.
We want to grow together not only as a team at BMI, but as a community with Achilles International. They have our support!
For this reason, once again we will give Achilles International athletes our support so that they can be in the Miami Marathon on January 27, 2019. A race in which some 20,000 runners, walkers and wheelchair athletes travel some of the most famous places in Miami.
We hope to see you there making the world a better place, one step at a time.
