We have all seen the standard superhero movie with the recycled plot line. A normal guy living a normal life suddenly discovers he has extraordinary abilities. Continuing his day job, in his spare time he does amazing things to help people he has never met – because he has the ability to act and he knows that it is the right thing to do.
But people like this exist outside of the Hollywood scripts, changing the world one life at a time. Superheroes like James Harrison, who at age 74 has saved an estimated 2 million lives – Batman would have to pull a lot of overtime to match that.
James learnt that he had very special blood, the plasma prevented babies dying from Rhesus disease. He has given blood every few weeks since he was 18 and will reach 1,000 donations in September this year.
So choose to give blood, volunteer, mentor, teach, inspire, sponsor a child, give to good causes, be selfless, spread joy. My challenge to you is to be a hero – you don’t even have to save a life, just try to change one.
