In honor of my brother Cpl. Luigi Marciante Jr. who sadly lost his life on September 20, 2007 while serving in Iraq we continue our ongoing commitment to the Achilles Freedom Team of Wounded Veterans.

Last year with your support Team S.O.S. was 90 runners/walkers strong and we raised over $20,000.00 and endowed six handcrank wheelchairs. Every time a service man or woman sits in one of our chairs your donation is giving someone hope to overcome their obstacles.

Team S.O.S. was born out of a concept to honor fallen and wounded veterans and is compiled of families who have lost their loved ones to the war in Iraq and Afghanistan. Although we have all suffered, tremendous loss – we have chosen to support the Freedom Team to honor our loved ones. Achilles has given us an opportunity to give back to the veteran community while keeping our loved ones memory alive.

Help us continue our efforts to support the Freedom Team and make an online donation today!

JOIN THE MOVEMENT: Online donations are the most efficient way to contribute to my fundraising efforts. To send a donation make all checks payable to: Achilles International and kindly mail to: Enza Jacobowitz 477 S. Cooks Bridge Road, Jackson NJ 08527. All proceeds will purchase a handcrank wheelchair for a disabled veteran to use in future races and support the mission of the Freedom Team.

INTERESTED IN PARTICIPATING: If you are interested in walking, running, wheeling or cheering us from the sidelines on June 26th at the Hope & Possibility 5M contact me via email: yuri528@yahoo.com!
