Hello Friend of Achilles CT Chapter,<br>
<br>
You hopefully have seen our recent publicity about the two upcoming events we are hosting to showcase the power of individuals with differing abilities in mainstream athletic events. We are now 6 weeks away from our Achilles Connecticut Hope & Possibility® race, presented by Cigna. We have two major events planned in one exciting weekend, and we hope you can join us! <br>
<br>
Saturday, August 20th 5:30-7:30 pm Fleet Feet Sports West Hartford<br>
An Evening with Trisha Meili (I Am The Central Park Jogger and Honorary Race Chair)<br>
Trisha Meili tells her inspirational story of recovery from trauma and signs books in a meet-n-greet (see attached flyer for details)<br>
