I would like to offer my great thanks and appreciation to the many people who’ve joined with me in telling the story of our Real Life Superheroes. The people involved in this project gave tirelessly of their time, creating imagery and words to share the inspirational tale of creative altruism, and the power each of us has to make a difference in the world. Every one of you has my respect and deepest appreciation. It has been an honor to collaborate with you all.
Extra special thanks go to my friends Thanatos & Geist. Without the support of these two amazing men this project would not have been possible. Three weeks after I met Thanatos and with the enthusiasm and support he and Geist showed for the project I found myself on a stage with 20 heroes from all over the country. I am honored to call you both friend and forever grateful for this amazing experience.
-Peter
