Just a Thought

For those of you thinking about running the half marathon, or another race in which you would receive a medal, I just read about an amazing program started by a physician called Medals4Mettle. M4M is a program where you can donate your hard-earned racing medals to people running a different kind of marathon, such as cancer treatments or other long, draining, scary medical problems. A large portion are donated to children's hospitals. These medals are treasured by their recipients, representing a hard-won battle, and supporting them on their own battle to survive. You can fill out a "legacy card" to send in with your medal, or you can just send it in. I think this program sounds amazing, one that has touched my heart and inspired me more than ever to run the race, along with many more to come to donate to this worthy cause. this would be a fun addition to something that could only benefit everyone involved in so many ways. Just something to think about. For more info, go to www.medals4mettle.org
