Medals4Mettle (M4M) (medals4mettle.org) receives medals donated by endurance athletes, and then awards them to encourage courageous children and adults fighting serious illnesses like cancer. The medal symbolizes the donor’s acknowledgment of the mettle (courage, bravery, resilience, spirit) exhibited by the recipient. The medal also conveys mutual inspiration between the donor and the recipient, and an expression of compassion and kindness from one human being to another in a time of crisis. Our M4M team enables that human connection. During the pandemic, Medals4Mettle expanded its mission and is awarding thousands of medals to courageous frontline workers.
