Medals4MetalGift your Marathon, Half Marathon and Triathlon MedalsMedals4Mettle (M4M) is a non-profit organization founded in Indianapolis, Indiana, in 2005 by Steven F. Isenberg, MD. He is a marathon runner, businessman and an ear, nose and throat physician. Its mission is to celebrate and reward the individual and collective courage of all human beings by facilitating the gifting of marathon finisher’s medals from marathoners to people who have demonstrated similar mettle, or courage. The recipients can be any age and might have exhibited such mettle by dealing with disease, handicaps or any similar challenge. Marathon runners around the world, and others who have won medals, give their medals to Medals4Mettle. Then our nationwide network of physicians and others award these medals to those who might not be able to run a marathon, but are in their own marathon to continue to live their life. As marathoners run through the streets, large crowds cheer the runners for their effort. Medals4Mettle lets these runners, healthy enough to compete in such an event, to return the cheers to those who have supported them. If you have an interest in the organization and would like to donate a medal that will be passed on locally in the SE Michigan area please mail it to the following address; Joe Burns 14275 Drumright Sterling Heights, MI 48313 or email questions to jlcb3@comcast.net URL: http://medals4mettle.org/ Added at: 16:38 2/10/109
