Michael Anderson joined Achilles [https://www.achillesinternational.org/] as the
Director of the NYC Chapter in May of 2017. 
Michael has competed in over 350 races in the U.S. and around the globe, has
completed eleven consecutive Boston Marathons and has run over 25 marathons
including five World Marathon Majors (Tokyo, Boston, Berlin, Chicago, and NYC). 
After running his first NYRR [https://www.nyrr.org/] race in 2000, Michael was
moved by the power of Achilles and has been an admirer ever since. He credits
the accomplishments of Achilles athletes as a factor in pushing himself on race
day and for toughing it out in the grueling final miles of each marathon he has
run. Before joining Achilles, he spent several years as an event manager and
freelance writer.

Michael Anderson, NYC Chapter Leader, Achilles International

Welcome to "I Run Because." We all have a reason why we run. Each person has a unique purpose to answer their why. Your why moves you, your why gets you across the finish line, and your why can motivate others. I run because seeks to inspire others by exploring why of athletes who run for charitable organizations and causes. Your host, Joe Borchard, and his lovely cohost, Christine, seek to highlight the athletes and guides of the running club Achilles International. The podcast's producer is Willie Sanchez.
