For this year's CheeseBurger Day, I'm raising money to benefit Achilles International, and any donation will help make an impact.

After starting my limb-loss journey in May 2012 , Achilles was the first organization I joined. I started riding my bike during their Sat run workouts. A few years later, they started TriAchilles and I joined immediately. Since then, I've completed the NYC Triathlon 6X, the NYC Marathon 3X, the 5 Boro Bike Tour 2X, and countless half marathons, 5Ks, and sprint triathlons. I was also part of the Achilles para team that completed the first IronMan 70.3 at Jones Beach. And it will be my honor to dedicate this year's season to the TriAchilles Team.

Thanks in advance for your contribution to this cause that means so much to me.
