Week 3 Nomination
Teresa Welch
Founder of Ride on Cannon Foundation
www.rideoncannonfoundation.org

If you would like to support this amazing organization please reach out to them. They will be collecting bicycles through the end of March for their next event on April 1st.
Week 2 Nomination
Jackson Clifton
Alopecia Does Not Define Him
Leadership On and Off the Field
Jackson is an amazing young man! After he was diagnosed with Alopecia in elementary school he learned that not all people are kind. Instead of allowing unkind words and actions define him, he decided to embrace acceptance and teach others. He is a leader both on and off of the football field. After meeting him, I have no doubt how he has influenced more than just his team to accept others that may look different from themselves.
Week 1 Nomination
Sarah Hardy
owner of the The Forged Tooth
Sarah is an inspiration to others because she is a shining example of you can be anything that you want to be! Sarah is a farrier. She shoes horses and takes care of their teeth. This is a predominantly male driven field, but after photographing her as she works I am not surprised in the least by her success.
