More Than Our Story
More Than Our Story
Welcome to More Than Our Story, a health and wellness company. We profile outstanding people, inspiring others to greatness – one story at a time. The company was conceived shortly after its founder was diagnosed with brain cancer. He founded the company to share his story with others, promote ways to live healthier, lead more active lives, and to share stories of other survivors and everyday heroes. We hope you find the articles and hero profiles as educational and inspiring as we do. Also, check out our shop, where we donate a portion of each sale, to a featured cause of your choosing.
Heroes Us All
All around us walk heroes. It’s not that they have surmounted seemingly impossible tasks, they haven’t been diagnosed with some incurable disease – it’s their inner strength and resolve they show in the face of adversity that makes them heroes. Some we know, others we remain unaware of, but the courage, strength and commitment they display is shared by each other of them. More Than Our Story was conceived around the idea of sharing their stories, and in doing so, hoping to inspire the readers to strive for greatness themselves. Below are some of the profiles of these everyday heroes and inspiring people. Inside each of us lies a hero. Heroes us all.
