From medical syringes to running shoes
U.S. Air Force Staff Sgt. Megan Cotter, 355th Medical Group noncommissioned officer in charge of immunizations, throws up hands up as she crosses the finish line of the New York City marathon Nov. 6. When Sergeant Cotter expressed interest to her father while she was deployed, he said he would try and get her into the marathon. He wrote a letter to the NYC marathon offices and within weeks Cotter had a congratulatory letter and entry number that she could wear as a participant. (Courtesy photo)
