Medals 4 Mettle (M4M)

A New Purpose for Old Race Medals. Do you find yourself staring at that pile of old race medals on a shelf or in a drawer and wondering what to do with them?
If just throwing them away seems like a terrible waste, consider contributing them to Medals 4 Mettle (www.medals4mettle.org). This non-profit organization awards the medals it receives to people of all ages who "e;run"e; their own intense races battling disease and handicaps.
