Tres, Mike, and Beth- different kind of heroes

Tonight's stories feature special individuals who are changing lives in unique ways.

1. Tres
Tres was rescued from severe abuse to recover and learn to live with only three legs. As if that weren't enough to keep a dog busy, Tres also became a licensed therapy dog! Now he helps hospitalized children, prisoners, and even other abandoned huskies. His owner, Scott, has more information on his website, http://www.scottski.net/.

2. Mike's Handcarved Canes
When Mike Hunter received a diagnosis of multiple sclerosis, it progressed quickly. He needed a cane to get around, but couldn't find anything that worked for him. So he carved his own! Now he's donated over 300 handcarved canes to improve life for other patients.

3. Camp Eureka

Meet Beth!

Beth Underwood had an illness as well- glaucoma that left her blind. Instead of allowing it to be a hinderance, Beth combined her experience with her love for outdoor education. She now operates Camp Eureka, a camp for blind children. The kids have an opportunity to experience nature, as well as learn from mentors who are also sight-impaired. Want to know more? Visit the website.

4. Inner City Slickers
Another very unique camp is closer to home in Agua Dulce, CA. Michael McMeel created a place where inner city kids could discover Old West values- perseverance, courage, responsibility, respect, kindness, and hard work. And while they're at it, maybe learn to ride a horse and twirl some ropes. Take a virtual tour, check out the programs, or get involved at http://www.innercityslickers.org/!

Tails of Hope and Things to Come

We've gotten some inquiries regarding a past story about Tails of Hope, an organization that finds homes for pets with terminally ill owners. Kelly Moyer founded Illinois-based Tails of Hope five years ago when her own father lost his fight with cancer and needed a new home for his cat. Since then, she's helped place over 1,200 pets who've lost their owners to terminal illness! You can find more about Tails of Hope on their website, http://www.tailsofhope.org/.
