Athletes who Overcome

Two paraplegic athletes from Minnesota named Josh and Scott are going to be featured in an inspiring video aired during this year's summer Olympics. The Minnesota School of Business has teamed up with the make a hero foundation to create videos to bolster awareness of everyday heroes according to an article on northlandsnewscenter.com.  
hand-cycling and sailing are just two of the sports mentioned here, but the make a hero foundation raises money for hero/athletes who have over-come the obstacles to pursue their sport of choice from skiing to rock climbing. The site promotes teaching adaptive athletics to those with disabilities to fulfill their need for fitness, adventure, speed, and confidence. 
Hats off to Josh and Scott, Real American Treasures, and the make a hero foundation for doing really good things in the world!
