My hero is Jarome Iginla and he rocks!!!! He was born July 1st, 1977. He will be 31 this year. He grew up with his mom, grandma and grandpa in Saint Albert. Jarome Iginla was born on Canada Day. His real name is Jarome Arthur-Leigh Adekunle Tig Junior Elvis Iginla. Jarome Iginla went to school at St. Albert High School.

Jarome Iginla is a hero because he gives lots of charity money like giving $1 to $3000 every goal he scores to diabetes. Jarome Iginla donated one quarter of the money he makes a year and that is $1,750,000. He donates most of the money he makes to diabetes. He gives $5 to $10 every birdie he gets in golf.

He is a hero because he gives lots of money to homeless and other things like diabetes. One time in Ontario, Canada he saw a homeless family. Jarome Iginla gave $500 to them. I admire him for giving lots of money to people like the homeless.

From my hero I have learned that if you see someone homeless or something you could give them money. He has taught me about being a hero. He has made a difference to the world he has made more people happier.
