Lenses about Everyday SuperHeroes

 

The goal of the Squidoo SuperHero Project is to create 5 lenses for charity about heroes who have inspired you, mentored you, changed the way you see the world, or just made you smile.

The SuperHero Project is the brainchild of Anne Reidy, Non-Profit Organizer at Squidoo as a way of raising money for the Squidoo Charity Fund.

Take a look at the Squidoo SuperHero Project lens. While you're here, be sure to submit your SuperHero Project lens and vote for your favorite SuperHero lens in each of the categories.

Winning Lensmasters will get this cool SuperHero Badge to display on their lenses.

Voting for your favorite SuperHero will be kept open for one week after the SuperHero Challenge ends on July 1, 2008.

While she is my mother, that isn't the reason she is a hero (although that has been a big job). Melba Marcrum has been working and advocating for young children in East Nashville for more than 20 years.

You can't relate to a superhero, to a superman, but you can identify with a real man who in times of crisis draws forth some extraordinary quality from within himself and triumphs but only after a struggle.
