FinishSafe, Inc., a Portsmouth, VA-based company, announced it will be giving away 1,000,000 free “Finish Tags” to help protect marathon runners. The tags, designed to help medical professionals, announce that the athlete is protected with instant medical information in case of emergency. The tags also include instructions for medical personnel to access this critical information.
“Good medical care starts with good information. FinishSafe is a revolutionary way to ensure you'll get the best medical care when you need it most,” said FinishSafe, Inc. President James Ramsey. “We are the national standard for medical information access, so we feel an obligation to share our service with marathons, races and other competitions to protect athletes during their events. The problem was that we couldn't protect them after the event was over. That's why we developed Finish Tags.”
Through the month of April, FinishSafe will make Finish Tags free to the first 1,000,000 people who register to receive them at the company's website: FinishSafe.com.
