Featured Profile
More Than Our Story was developed around the idea of sharing inspirational stories of everyday heroes. They don’t need to have overcome some insurmountable obstacle, or live with some terrible disease, it’s how they overcame adversity, how they live their lives, and how they give back that makes them an inspiration.
