Your Everyday Hero: Adam

I don't even know how many people Adam has helped since he started practicing magic tricks. Adam incorporates his message of breast cancer awareness into the dynamic magic shows he performs, free of charge, for schoolchildren and teachers in Denver. In the seven years since Adam learned his first magic trick, two of his aunts have survived hard-fought battles with breast cancer. Inspired by them, Adam is committed to teaching his audiences about cancer and the benefits of early detection. His shows and message have inspired more than a few teachers to schedule mammograms or begin monthly self exams. 'I have learned that by helping other people, you feel better about yourself,' says Adam.
