My hero didn't invent something phenomonal; SHE IS PHENOMONAL. She didn't set up an orginazation that fed starving children; BUT FED US SHE DID. She is a woman of outstanding strength and quiet acceptance. She shows the millions of students who are in her midst what it means to "pass it on."

Your Everyday Hero: Chris K.

Chris is constant motivation and inspiration for all those around him. Diagnosed as a 21 year old Marine with a degenerative nerve disorder, Chris was forced to cut his career in the Marines short and has gone from using canes to a wheelchair over the last 12 years. Despite his challenges, Chris has never slowed down. He started his own fitness facility, Corps Fitness, and his own non-profit foundation, the IM ABLE Foundation, dedicated to getting everyone (disabled and able-bodied) up and moving. Through his efforts, Chris continues to inspire and motivate everyone around them and accepts no excuses in the gym or in life. GET UP AND MOVE!
