M4M at Meet Her at the Finish Line celebration‏

Some pictures from the Mett Her at the Finish Line Celebration in the Chicago suburbs celebrating Cancer Patients/Survivors!  A small speech was given about M4M.  Great to be among such positive attitudes and strong spirits. 

A comment from a medal recipient

I was so honored today!!! Thank you for the Medal4Mettle. 

My battle is almost over I have a few more infusions to go. The
medal that was given to me was from an athlete who was disciplined, who
trained and endured the 26 mile marathon. Thank you for your
encouragement. Yes I feel like I am so close to the finish line. My
hair is growing back. My energy level is coming back and i am working
out again. I hope to be able to cheer others on as well! Those friends
and family members that run. Consider blessing someone with your medal. 

Yep we are tough, and we got this!!!

 

Children at Hope Advocate received M4M medals this past week!

Orchard Village Medal Donation

So grateful that I was actually able to be part of this medal presentation. Too many times there are scheduling conflicts or distance issues but this opportunity was in my hometown and such a blessing to be so close.

They held their first 5K Run/3K Walk this past month and many of their residents and participants participated in the walk.  They were so excited to get medals as they crossed the finish line. It is seeing the the joy on their face that makes me know this organization makes a different in peoples lives.
