Jane's Frames - Boston Marathon 2013 medals framed for free

Franklin runners, if you would like to get your 2013 Boston Marathon medal framed, Janes's Frames is running a special for a limited time. Jane's email to me stated:

I’m wondering if you could put in Franklin Matters some information about the fact that I am framing the 2013 Marathon medals for free, until I reach 100 pieces framed, and for a limited time, or until my supplies run out. My vendors have generously donated some of the supplies, with some matboard for free, others at cost and the moulding at cost.

I have included a picture of how the finished free framing would look. Also, some runners have added their running bib, photos, Official Time, etc. in their frames. I those cases they paid the difference between the cost of what they chose versus the free frame.
