CRANFORD, N.J. - Team Residex, which consists of 32 runners/walkers and volunteers, made its way to New York City on June 28, for the Hope and Possibility 5-miler in support of the Achilles Freedom Team.

While the goals of each of the participants varied by individual, the event was truly inspiring for all that were in attendance. In a celebration of running, both able-bodied and disabled athletes, many of whom were recent veterans of Iraq and Afghanistan pushed their way to the finish line. Some looking to win a medal, some looking to beat a previous time, and some just looking to finish; the goals as individual as the challenges each runner faced.

After the race Team Residex was fortunate to have the opportunity to meet Paul McAlister, the rider of the Residex hand crank. Donated to the Freedom Team in January, the hand crank is stationed at the Walter Reed Medical Center in Washington DC and used by soldiers for both training and racing.

Residex would like to thank everyone that participated in this event and those that made monetary donations to support the Achilles Freedom Team. To make a donation to the Achilles Freedom Team visit www.firstgiving.com/residex.
