Well first off there are so many different definitions of what is a hero. In my opinion a it is someone who is wiling to sacrifice it all for the greater good of something. Now there have been millions of heroes throughout history but just to name a few Terry Fox who died running across Canada for cancer, Rick Hansen who in a wheel chair wheeled around the whole world, Blake Mycoskie, the founder of Tom.
