"It's hard to be at a (marathon) or around it and not be inspired by it," said Chris Miller, divisional vice president, global brand strategy and innovation at Abbott, in a recent interview with Bob Babbitt of Babbittville Radio. "Whether you're an elite athlete, a back-of-the-pack runner, or a fan on the side lines, it's really about ordinary people doing extraordinary things. And, for Abbott, our partnership with the Abbott World Marathon Majors is a great way to celebrate what people can achieve when they’re in their best health."
