Alan's nomination storyinspirational guy selfless gives all they can without a thought truly an inspiration to every day people gymforheroes team member :)I have always enjoyed sport as I was brought up as a forces child and continued this in my 24 year military career. I set up Gym for Heroes as a National event to raise £1m for Help for Heroes and in the first year we raised £103k for the cause. We have just completed or second year and are yet to find out how much we have raised. I push myself to my limits and hope that others will follow my lead; this year during a 24hr non-stop challenge (8hrs row -8hrs bike -8hrs run) I covered a distance of 401km which will now be the target distance for next year. The challenge will continue until we have reached our target (I have Sophie and Sally who volunteered to run the site with me). I have be asked to do the Marathon Des Sables next year

I am no great altruist, though some mistake me for one. With only the rarest exceptions, humans won't act with no expected return, and I'm certainly no selfless saint. We all want a thing in return – maybe money, food and shelter, payment in kind. If we deny ourselves all those, we might earn recognition, respect, and love. If we go one step further and act with total anonymity, we can still gain self-gratification, or approval from the god of our choosing. There is rarely output without return, and we do ourselves no good imagining there should be. Don't get me wrong – I want to be useful. I get no joy from offering nothing to no one, locked away and living for myself alone. That was my biggest frustration as a child, trying to believe that endless play was good enough. So when you see me uncovering cemeteries and unearthing stones, putting hours and days of effort in, I'm only doing it because my audience supports it. I work for them, and could never justify the effort without it. I'm not volunteering, it's not a hobby, this is my method to survive.
I was raised around a lot of religious talk, from folks who genuinely believed in self-sacrifice. I accept the theory, but severely doubt the practice. It's one in a million that we'll choose the hard ask, and half of those who do are bitter for it. Organ donators cast aside by their recipients, charity regret, realizing that they really wanted equality in the end. I've learned that we love because we want love, we practice for payment, work for wages. We make ourselves of value with the goal of being valued in return. I live with that philosophy in mind, every day, trying to put out an equal amount for what I need back. Of course, I'm lucky to love what I do. That love takes back some sting of desperation, keeps me going good on the bad days. If you're ever tempted to believe I'm better than I am, just remember what you read here. I am equal to my action only, and I thank you for helping me act.

The North Carolina Museum of Art has a large display of sculptures of French artist Auguste Rodin (1840-1917). This is my favorite. When I was there, the late afternoon sun coming in made every photo almost impossible. Neither the color nor the black and white convey the full impact of this masterful depiction of anguish. I never realized how much emotion can be conveyed in bronze. This viewing experience has enhanced appreciation of sculpture in general and of Rodin in specific.
Edward III, King of England, claimed authority over France at that time. In 1346 he began an 11-month siege of the port city of Calais in an early battle in the Hundred Years’ War. Unable to take the city by attack, Edward decided to starve the city into submission. His plan succeeded. He would spare the lives of the citizens of Calais if six of its prominent leaders would come to his encampment; they would be barefoot and without headwear, nooses around their neck, and hand over the keys to the city and beg for mercy. Six burghers ultimately volunteered in this act of selfless heroism. They expected to be executed but were saved through the intervention of England’s pregnant queen, Philippa of Hainault. She feared the killing of the burghers would be a bad omen for the birth of her child. Pierre de Wissant is one of those six burghers.
To honor this act of self-sacrifice, the city of Calais commissioned Rodin in 1885 to execute a monument. His finished work was The Burghers of Calais (Les Bourgeois de Calais). Rodin used the head of Pierre de Wissant alone in a larger-than life sculpture. The modeling of the head was done in 1884-1885 and enlarged in 1909. The figure in the North Carolina Museum of Art was cast in 1980 by the Musée Rodin.
The bust shows Pierre de Wissant with parted lips, eyes nearly shut, head leaning slightly to the side, and an elongated neck—all features contributing to the pathos of the situation of self-denial and sacrifice. His features reveal the emaciation resulting from the effort to starve out the city. His decision shows in the facial agony to sacrifice his life for his fellow citizens. Rodin remarkably creates a human being in flesh and blood using only bronze.

Bacon Day dress for my sister, 1Canoe2 Pigs in Navy. I couldn't be more of a fan of this cotton for garment making. I recommend it highly for a fluffy skirt because it makes you feel encased is silky cotton. It presses crisp, but easily falls into that vintage shirt voile feeling but with more substance.

Put the welfare of the Nation, the Army and your subordinates before your own. Selfless service is larger than just one person. In serving your country, you are doing your duty loyally without thought of recognition or gain. The basic building block of selfless service is the commitment of each team member to go a little further, endure a little longer, and look a little closer to see how he or she can add to the effort.

People come here to feed pigeons spending time and money, a selfless expression of care and love. Peace will prevail in Pakistan.
A father selflessly becomes the pillar of his children's dreams, often losing and forgetting his own luster and color as years wear on. Like a gray vintage bus in a garage of garish cars, he remains always reliable, ever strong. Today is his day. Make him feel special.
I lost my dad 14 years ago this September. If there is one person who can define dedication to family, then his life is one shining illustration. Happy Father's Day to all fathers, grandfathers, godfathers and fathers at heart!
U.S. Forces Korea honors and recognizes all U.S. military veterans who selflessly served our great nation and defended freedom with a Veterans Day ceremony held on USAG-Humphreys, Nov. 11, 2021.
Veterans Day, historically known as Armistice Day and officially recognized as a U.S. federal holiday beginning in 1938, celebrates the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month and signaling the official end of World War I in 1918.
In 1954, President Dwight D. Eisenhower officially changed the name of the holiday from Armistice Day to Veterans Day.
Throughout history, our veterans have served with patriotism and professionalism while defending and preserving our freedoms. (U.S. Army photos by Staff Sgt. Kris Bonet)
From left to right:
Commando Marius Lengard, aka "Chaplain", a traditionally minded soldier whose bravery and selflessness earned him respect among even those on the opposite side of politics.
Base Commander Rebecca Morrison, aka "The Valkyrie", a femme fatale officer of the Corps who also happens to be fresh out of the IOAC Combat Academy. It is obvious to her subordinates that she is new at this, but her determination and enthusiasm more than make up for it.
Lieutenant Cody Scarr, aka "Scarface', is a young but experienced soldier who lived through both the catastrophic crash of the U.S.S. Blazing Phoenix and the epic War of Mars, and who comes at any situation with a smile on his face and dogged pessimism in his heart. He is usually the one who keeps other, less experienced soldiers grounded.
Commander James Van Helm, aka "Cyborg", is an older, wiser warrior, who is a veteran of the Great Middle Eastern War. That service, however, cost him an arm and a leg in the most literal sense, after he saved two soldiers from being blown to Kingdom Come by a grenade. The families of those soldiers were so grateful for his sacrifice, however, that they paid for his medical care and his cybernetic prosthesis, which allowed him to continue service in the Corps. He now has a bit more respect for the so-called 'Noob Tubes', however.

About The Campaign
During November each year, Movember is responsible for the sprouting of moustaches on thousands of men’s faces in the UK and around the world. The aim of which is to raise vital funds and awareness for men’s health, specifically prostate cancer and other cancers that affect men.
On Movember 1st, guys register at Movember.com with a clean-shaven face and then for the rest of the month, these selfless and generous men, known as Mo Bros, groom, trim and wax their way into the annals of fine moustachery. Supported by the women in their lives, Mo Sistas, Movember Mo Bros raise funds by seeking out sponsorship for their Mo-growing efforts.
Mo Bros effectively become walking, talking billboards for the 30 days of November and through their actions and words raise awareness by prompting private and public conversation around the often ignored issue of men’s health.

Abbotts Ann Church of England Primary School
Celebrating Achievement, Building the Future in God's Love
Our chair is called 'The Seat of Selfless Heroes'
What our chair means to us:
Here is our chair - fit for an everyday hero. We are proud to say that everyone in Year 6 has contributed to its design and creation. When we were given the brief to design a chair for 'an everyday hero' we initially started to think about the heroes in our community. We came up with the National Health Service, the Royal National Lifeboat Institution, the Army, the Police, the Air Ambulance and charities such as the Salvation Army, Crisis and Shelter. As many of us have parents or family working for these organisations, we felt it was important to represent them as the selfless work they do for our communities on a daily basis, is essential and can change lives. Each spindle has been painted according to the colours of each organisation: the Police - the spindle has been painted blue and yellow; the Army - green and brown to represent camouflage; blue and white for the NHS; read and white - to represent the Salvation Army, Fire Service, Crisis and Shelter; orange and black - for the RNLI; Hampshire and Isle of Wight Air Ambulance is green and yellow.
We were inspired by Jesus' words, 'I am the Vines, you are the branches, If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit.' The legs of our chair are like the trunk of a tree - supporting and giving the strong foundation - just like those who remain strong for others and give up their time to care. Then the vine connects and wraps around the chair - showing that everyday heroes all connect in a similar way - there to support and bring light to others. Everyday heroes walk in Jesus' steps and selflessly give their time for the good of other people. Finally, the seat has been covered in beautiful flowers and leaves made by Year 6 to reflect the natural world. Around the back of the chair, the words from the Galatians taken form the Bible are inscribed on it. It states, 'And let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap, if we do not give up.' Inspiring words for us all to live by.

A Selfless Senior is a student who gives back to her community, who hasn’t been recognized by her high school, who has made a positive impact on others facing difficulties and whose character sets her apart.

Love of God is not just a feeling but always involves showing love for God by selfless service to God’s creation. The only path to salvation is by rendering selfless service to God’s creation. “Seva brings you nearer to God Through seva, you realize that all are waves of the ocean of Divinity. “When you consider work as Divine service, you can do it anywhere, at any time. It is an offering to God, an offering to the Truth. Seva is uplifting your own Self, your own people, your own world. It is embracing God’s creation”.

"1898 - 1998
This Cairn has been erected in recognition of over 100 years of selfless service and sacrifice by all those who have loyally served under the colours of the Auckland Regiment and its descendants, since their gazetting on May 20th 1898 and subsequent colour presentation in this vicinity by Lady Constance Elizabeth Knox, Countess of Ranfurly.
We Gratefully acknowledge the assistance of the Republic of Turkey for the provision of stone from the battlefields of Gallipoli "Anzac Cove", The Auckland City Council, Ngati Whatua o Orakei, and the Auckland Regimental Association.
Erected by the descendant unit
3rd Auckland (Countess of Ranfurly's Own) and Northland Regiment"
A very special thing with this cairn aside from being made of stone from the battlefields of Anzac Cove is that Mustafa ATATURK's quote is on one side. This quote has only officially been reproduced on 3 other memorials since it was uttered. Anzac Cove, Gallipoi; Kemal Atatürk Memorial, Anzac Parade, Canberra and Ataturk Memorial, Tarakena Bay, Wellington's South Coast, Wellington, NZ.
"Those heroes that shed their blood
and lost their lives…
You are now lying in the soil of a friendly country.
Therefore rest in peace.
There is no difference between the Johnnies and the Mehmets to us where they lie side by side here in this country of ours…
You, the mothers, who sent their sons from faraway countries wipe away your tears; your sons are now lying in our bosom and are in peace, after having lost their lives on this land they have
become our sons as well.
Ataturk, 1934"

Nawabzada Nasrullah Khan was one of the seniormost and respected political figures in Pakistan. Just before his death, he was the Chairman of Alliance for Restoration of Democracy. Mr. Khan's political career spanned over half a century. His willingness to forge alliances with opposing political parties became an almost permanent feature of his leadership. He often served as a rallying point for Pakistan's opposition parties. Hailing from Muzaffargarh district in southern Punjab, he entered politics as a young man in the late 1930s. His earliest association was with Majlis Ahrar-e-Islam, a relatively small political party. He left the organization long before he contested his first election to the Provincial Assembly in 1946, but was often recognised as the only surviving specimen of the Ahrar's political culture, which was against the creation of Pakistan. But, while his literary leanings, the much-publicised portable "hookah" and the Turkish fez lent a certain distinction to his personality. It is, in fact, his long and sustained struggle for a full-blooded democratic polity that earned him a pivotal position in the Pakistani politics. During the mid-1960s Nawabzada Nasrullah Khan shot to prominence as the leader of his own faction of the Awami League during General Ayub Khan's rule. In 1977, he joined the opposition team during the abortive negotiations with then Prime Minister Zulfikar Ali Bhutto, in the wake of a crisis triggered by allegations of electoral rigging. During 1983, he spearheaded the Movement for Restoration of Democracy showing his commitment to the cause of democracy, and this being his first alliance with the Pakistan Peoples Party. He died on 27 September 2003 after being admitted to hospital in Islamabad, following a heart attack, at the age of 85 years.

Let's all learn about Lupus. A beautiful and selfless cause, Dave! Our hearts and prayers go out to you and your friend!
Excerpt from Dave77459:
...Purple Photos for Lupus Awareness...
The rules: feature the color purple in your photos.
As in years past, I will be making a donation for every photo posted to the group. I will donate $0.10 for every photo posted here and to the target group, up to $100. I will pay for 1000 photos to be taken and posted.
FGR has a 3-a-day limit, which works for me. ASK YOUR FRIENDS TO TAKE AND PHOTOS. Ask your friends to take money out of my pocket! The idea is to raise awareness, after all.
Spread the word, please. Make sure they know the FGR rules, about how it must be taken on Sunday, May 16 and posted within 3 days.
In the past, people have chosen to match my donation. That would be really nice, but you know, your job is to raise awareness.
Thanks in advance for helping me remember my friend.
