Vote for a hero
A young woman from Bismarck, Anne Mahlum, is in the running to be CNN's Top Hero. She is a runner, and has started a program for homeless people to run with her - to get motivated, to find support and encouragement, as well as get in shape. It's called "Back On Your Feet". As one of the top ten finalists, she has already received $10,000. Her program is growing and expanding, working with job training programs, and now she's in the running for Top Hero and $100,000. Her dad, who is on Tom's basketball team, said that anyone can go to www.cnn.com/heroes and vote for her. There is a story about her at that site, as well as some short videos. A very inspiring story and a worthy young woman.
