There has been a lot of volunteer activities with Mano a Mano and Medtronic in recent weeks, which will continue throughout the next month as part of their Project 6 volunteer project.
Mano a Mano was very grateful to work with hundreds of Medtronic volunteers last year, and we look forward to doing it again this year!
