Every so often we introduce you to someone doing something cool.  This time it’s tricky, being a relative it’s close to home, but I sat with Hannah a couple of weeks ago and heard some really great things about what she’s doing.  The stories about other people she’s met are uplifting, sometimes heartbreaking, and usually fun.  This is an intro to how she meets them and what she does.

Here are two opportunities to get your ticket for the price of a few hours helping out.
