Donate them to Medals4Mettle.org, a nonprofit that collects medals and donates them to people battling illnesses.
The organization was started in 2005 by Steven Isenberg, a physician and marathon runner, who, after completing the 2003 Chicago Marathon, paid a bedside visit to a colleague battling prostate cancer. During that visit, Dr. Isenberg hung his medal around his friend's neck. "I want you to have this," he said. "You are running a much more difficult marathon than the one I completed."
Before he died, his friend told Dr. Isenberg how much he treasured the medal. That led Dr. Isenberg to start Medals4Mettle.
The M4M Web site went live in 2005 and immediately, runners from across the country sent in their medals.
To date, Medals4Mettle has collected and distributed more than 3,500 medals to children and adults.
