Our way of life seemed to have changed forever.This devastating time called for everyday superheroes, people who went above and beyond to help others through selfless acts of kindness.StoryTerrace launched the Unsung Heroes campaign to celebrate these heroes. We received hundreds of nominations from the public and have selected 25 inspiring stories for this book.Our heroes come from all walks of life, from two-year-old twins Isla-Rose and Lily-Mae, who raised funds for charity in matching fancy dress, to our leading hero, 93-year-old activist Opal Lee, who hand-delivered food boxes to the needy.Each story proves that even in the most difficult of circumstances, ordinary people can do the most extraordinary things. All profits from the Unsung Heroes book will be donated to two causes: Maggie's, a UK-based cancer charity and Unity Unlimited, a grass-roots educational non-profit in America.
