The Manifesto of the The Achilles Heel

The Achilles Heel is about promoting exercise and fitness.

     Of the body AND the mind.

We’re about being realistic in forming healthy lifelong habits,

     and that set backs provide opportunities for new beginnings.

We’re about understanding that every person is an athlete,

     Every athlete has a story,

         And letting that story be told.

We realize that success lies in the eye of the beholder.

     And understand that the journey is just as important as crossing the finish line.

We are there to celebrate YOUR success,

     Because we were there to help when you failed.

Our weaknesses do not prevent our success,

     But are merely obstacles that should challenge us.

The Achilles Heel is about reaching out to those without equal opportunities in life.

We lend a hand when someone has fallen;

     After all, triumph comes through sacrifice and failure.

We listen.  And sometimes that is all that is needed.

We believe in leaving the next generation a future of possibilities,

     We believe IN the next generation.

         And teaching them about values, health, and the preservation of resources.

We do the little things to preserve what we have.  The next generation is counting on us.

We believe that every child has the right to enjoy being a child,

     including the simple pleasures that life has to offer.
