Achilles St. Patrick's Day 5K Run/Walk

The following was passed on to us from Achilles Canada. Looks like a worthwhile event.

Happy New Year's Friends of Achilles,

It is with much excitement that I share with you an opportunity to join other friends, corporations and charitable organizations in supporting the 9th Annual Achilles St. Patrick's Day 5K Run/Walk, to be held back at The Roundhouse in Toronto on Sunday, March 16, 2008.

The annual Achilles St. Patrick's Day Run/Walk is organized by Achilles Canada, a non-profit organization that assists Canadians with disabilities to participate in the sport of running, which creates awareness and break down barriers between Achilles athletes and able-bodied participants.

Your support or donation of $300 will entitle you to either enter a team of 10 runners/walkers or allow 10 disabled athletes who otherwise could not afford the entry fee of $30 to participate in this fun 5K event celebrating St. Patrick's Day. You can also make a donation for as little as $30 to invite a disabled athlete and Achilles Canada will issue you a tax receipt.

As president of Achilles Canada and an accomplished Achilles athlete who is both legally blind and hearing impaired, I ask that you please consider supporting our biggest fundraiser of the year. Should you have any questions or would like me to mail you some entry forms, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Thank you kindly,

Brian McLean, President
