“I am signed up for a volunteer email list which presents volunteer opportunities and saw the entry for Achilles. It seemed like a neat idea and I decided to volunteer.”
- Stephanie
"We are so fortunate to have Stephanie as a volunteer; she brings such happy and positive energy to our group. It's just awesome having such young adults working with this Achilles team - it gives everyone a smile just seeing her help out and giving so much of her time each week. Stephanie is always there when we need her - she was just incredibly helpful and fun at the Hope and Possibility races in Minnesota and New York, we can't thank her enough. Her smile is so very contagious - thank you for lighting up our lives with it." - Kimmer
