About Us
The LA chapter was founded in 1988 by Jon Ross, a film producer, businessman, and longtime NY Achilles volunteer, transplanted to L.A.
The LA chapter is now under the leadership of Jeremy Newman, a personal trainer, motivational speaker and wheelchair athlete who is paralyzed from the waist down as a result of a skydiving accident. The chapter holds regular weekly workouts in Santa Monica at the beach and participates frequently in area races in addition to fielding Achilles members in seventeen consecutive LA Marathons.
