Hidden Heroes

Ricki celebrates selfless individuals who have gone to great lengths to help others in need… often doing so with little recognition or fanfare.  Ricki speaks with a woman who donated a portion of her liver to save a stranger’s infant daughter.  Also, a man whose poor judgment left him a quadriplegic has chosen to use his situation as a cautionary tale to help others make wiser choices.  And, Alison Thompson, an Australian-born woman who left her high-paying job on Wall Street to become a volunteer at natural disasters all around the world. Her work became the subject of a documentary titled “The Third Wave” which debuted at the 2007 Tribeca Film Festival and subsequently presented by Sean Penn at the 2008 Cannes Film Festival.
