Child Heroes

A reoccurring theme here at EDH recently has been about the special heroism of babies and small children, along with their brave parents. The parent-child relationship involves both parents and their children to be brave at times, and activate the hero gene inside of them. From a little girl playing the harp as if she had been at it for over 20 years, to preemie mamas and their babies fighting to survive, heroes really do come in all shapes and sizes. So this week, we ask you all to look […]

Unconditional Love

We want to talk about something rather important today. Whether it be a mother and her preemie baby, or a heroic act, unconditional love and genuine concern are always involved. Team EDH considers love to be a vital component of heroism, because heroic acts can be done out of love many times. Parents who love their children are part time heroes too, and concern is always expressed when someone saves another’s life. This week, think about who and what you love, and why you love it. Think about how love […]

Sunnybrook’s Little Miracles Fighting to Live

  Our trailer previews a moment in the life of a mother to a premature baby in Sunnybrook’s Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU). Each day these babies face challenges just to breathe to stay alive. The mothers have to be strong despite these fears, and be thankful for their babies teeny tiny achievements. For most, pregnancies are joyful and relatively easy. For these mothers and their babies, it is a life and death experience.

Hero of the Year is You

Hey you! Yes you, whoever is reading this. Thank you. You have been our hero so far this year. Why you may ask? Well, for starters, you’re reading this post! Do you know how much that means to us?!

Heroes are All Around You

Have you ever wondered what a simple smile on the street does to the people around you? I’ll tell you one thing – those people certainly don’t forget when they are smiled at, especially from someone as good looking as you are (yes, I’m talking about you!). The point is, we can learn a valuable lesson about the small random acts of kindness occurring to us, or from us. That lesson is, every time a genuine act is done, a hero is born. Your inner hero gets a chance to […]

Our Global Community is Our Hero

A couple of days ago, EDH received a wonderful message from a facebook friend named Dianna: “My Hero is me!! You can knock me down, but I get up, dust myself off and keep on going! Im the only one that tells me the whole truth and I can rely on myself to be there when need be! I am completely faithful and honest and I love myself for that!” That message, a simple hero story, really inspired us. While looking back at the message a few days after it […]
