Medtronic is currently seeking candidates for our Global Heroes program for the Twin Cities Marathon and 10 Mile races. If you are a runner with diabetes, heart disease, chronic pain or a spinal or a neurological disorder you should take a look. There are program guidelines to review on the site (if you are aware of some controversy over the guidelines last year, that has been corrected).
Benefits are a paid entry into one of those 2 races, covered travel expenses for yourself and guest, a $1000 donation to a nonprofit patient organization that educates and supports people with your condition, and an incredibly memorable experience with a group of runners from around the world. Last year the team captain was Alberto Salazar – a unique experience to be able to train with a great like that.
If you fit the bill and are interested, I can submit a recommendation if you contact me.
