Chevrolet Sponsors the 2023 Achilles Relay

In celebration of the 40th anniversary of Achilles International, Chevrolet Military Appreciation is proud to sponsor the 2023 Achilles Relay. This relay is a 500-mile run, walk, and wheel relay race that travels from Boston, MA to Washington DC. Chevrolet and Achilles International have joined together to support and transform the lives of wounded military personnel and veterans through donations and fundraising. Keep on the lookout for the race passing through the New York area on May 19 – 20th.

Achilles International is a global organization that includes 17 countries dedicated to empowering people with disabilities through athletic programs and social connection. The Achilles Freedom Team (a subgroup of Achilles International) provides wounded, ill and injured veterans an opportunity to participate in high profile marathons and races. This Military Appreciation Month, Achilles plans to raise over $10,000 for those living with military disabilities before the race reaches its Washington DC destination. 

Roughly 26% of adults in the United States live with a disability, with nearly half of those receiving no aerobic physical activity. Research also shows that people with disabilities are more likely to report feelings of loneliness and social isolation. The Achilles Relay is to welcome people with and without disabilities to celebrate the athlete within and show how we can overcome obstacles together.
