BENEFITS

Physical activity is an important part of every child’s healthy development. But for children with disabilities, it’s more important than you think. A recent Reuters Health study reports that children with disabilities who participate in the right exercise program show improved quality of life, greater aerobic capacity, and better function.

​

With Team Achilles Kids (TAK), children with disabilities get the opportunity to exercise regularly and compete with other runners, helping them become stronger and healthier.
