Worcester Mag's Hometown Heroesnew
Some stand out for putting their own lives in danger so that others will be safe. Others dedicate their lives to giving to others. For some, the desire to help others transcends all else. All the heroes we honor this year have at least one thing in common: They don’t consider what they do heroic and they aren’t seeking the limelight. That’s OK. We’re more than happy to shine it on them anyway.
