Who is Your Hero?
The topic of what makes someone a hero came up on another thread. There are a lot of different ways to define a hero. For me it's someone who is ordinary in most ways, but is able to reach into themselves and pull out their best when it matters. It may be on one specific occasion where it really matters, or on a long-term basis - just plugging away according to their own personal values until the job is done.
What does the word "hero" mean to you? Who is/are your heros and why?
Here are a couple of mine:
Terry Fox: He went above and beyond his physical capabilites in order to raise money and awareness in regards to cancer. He sure succeeded!

Steve Irwin: This man has single-handedly made nature and animal awareness and conservation a household value all over the world.
