M4M Central Illinois received over 50 marathon finisher medals from super runner John Wayne Lui. What's incredible is he ran them all in 2011! That's right 52 marathons in a year and John is fast too (3:15-3:30)! With only 7 states remaining, looks like he will become a 50 State Marathon Finisher in 2012. On behalf of everyone at M4M, thanks John Wayne Lui! See you in Little Rock!

Our Mission
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.
