The Oklahoma City Memorial Marathon will be held April 25th, 2010 http://www.okcmarathon.com/. Like most large events, this event is successful because of the volunteer spirit of Oklahomans like you. I have been contacted by David Haynes, who is responsible for coordination of the race medical staff. Obviously, the race staff and runners view athletic trainers as a valuable part of the medical team. This is a great way to show the state what we do every day. Please consider spending a few hours on a beautiful April day to assist with this endeavor. If you are able to volunteer, please contact David at david.haynes@valir.com .

Congressman Ed Towns (NY-10) has introduced the Athletic Trainers' Equal Access
to Medicare Act of 2009 (ATEAM) -- H.R. 1137 -- into the House of
Representatives. This bill would improve patient access to athletic trainers,
allow physician choice of a wider range of qualified health care professionals,
and restore the ability of athletic trainers to work incident-to a physician.
Contact your member of the House today and encourage him/herto co-sponsor H.R.
1137.
