Our Sister Site:
  This is True

"Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful committed citizens can change the world; indeed it's the only thing that ever has."
--Margaret Mead (1901-1978), American Anthropologist

You always hear about the people who do wrong, hurt others, take advantage, rob and steal. But they are the minority. HeroicStories are about everyday real people who step up to the challenge and help others when they're needed. It's not just the people who save lives or stop a crime, but the stories are true, they're from all over the world and, most of all, they're interesting -- not sappy, syrupy-sweet (or religious) tales you roll your eyes over when your grandmother tells them. (They're also short! No story is over 500 words.)

But don't look for the stories on this web site. They're not here: we only publish by e-mail. To read the stories, you must get a free e-mail subscription -- so we can send the stories to you! (Worried about your privacy? Well, that's smart! Here's our Privacy Notice and our position on "spam". In short: we'll never give your address to anyone else since we hate spam at least as much as you do!) Sign up for your free subscription below.
