• Kelly Manz, whose instinct save her baby and later helped her craft a law that has saved countless others.
• Lindsay Norris, the oncology nurse who touched many hearts and moved many to tears after she who wrote an apology letter to her patients after she learned her postpartum symptoms were actually stage three colorectal cancer.
