Since 1992, Moshe Behar has been a competitive triathlete and cyclist, logging over 200 miles a week on the bike, racing triathlons, swimming and sprinting on the track, balancing his training and family life with his beautiful wife Luisa and their three children—a healthy, active man until a truck driver hit him last year and left him paralyzed for life.

Moshe has survived the trauma, the broken bones throughout his body, a coma and numerous operations to repair his spine, hip and gut just so he can live day-to-day between a hospital bed and wheelchair, unable to walk, work, or train.

With bills mounting and uninsured for many of his medical expenses and necessities such as a hospital bed, wheelchair and physical rehabilitation therapy, his days are often challenging emotionally as he struggles to keep his head high and spirits strong. As someone who was always helping others with their training and their lives it is hard for him to be in a position of needing help and that’s why Running Friends Forever stepped in to help Moshe and others in his position.

According to experts the best thing Moshe can do is to do the things he likes best which include his love for sports. In his efforts to return to racing once again, Running Friends Forever contacted the Achilles Track Team, an international nonprofit organization dedicated to running for people with disabilities who offered to lend Moshe a wheelchair for training and racing.

Running Friends Forever founder Danielle Dorfman, a Johns Hopkins freshman, 2007 Silver Knight recipient 2007 and provider of athletic shoes, gear and scholarships for athletes locally and worldwide agreed that along with her passion and experience in working the Miami Cure for Paralysis she is dedicated to dedicating 2008 towards fundraising efforts to assist those who are wheelchair-bound and have the will and desire to race again. Along with her brother Joseph a Belen Jesuit Junior and member of the 2007 State Championship x country team, they will be supporting the Achilles Freedom Team—and outreach rehabilitation program consisting of primarily wounded veterans returning from Iraq and Afghanistan, Vietnam and the Persian Gulf War and the Achilles Kids—3500 + children with disabilities.
