Who are your heroes, and why?

   One of my heroes...er....heroines....  is an ex client of mine.  Besides that she had a heart of gold, she raised three kids by herself, she first taught herself how to use a computer, then taught herself become a successful internet marketer (which was followed up by learning how to do other businesses online).  Eventually, she raised herself up from being on welfare to having a very satisfying income. She is positive minded, exceptionally smart, and a wonderful person all around. 
   
   she was diagnosed with breast cancer, and took it upon herself to campaign for the Avon Foundation Breast Cancer Crusade, through several ingenious ways.  She raised over $13,000.  I think her light should be shared, so have a look:

   My other two heroines are my mother and my sister, for reasons that are more personal.  I hope each and every one of you has a hero/heroine to look up to.  Or....maybe you are someone's hero.
