"I am honored to be in a Hall of Fame that recognizes everyday people for their outstanding accomplishments," said Ripken. "We all know and are inspired by people with a can-do, never-quit spirit. And, I'm excited to help celebrate others throughout the U.S. who approach life this way."
If you know someone who continually goes above and beyond, and keeps going through life's everyday challenges, enter him or her today in the search for the Keep Going Hall of Fame. The winner will receive a $10,000 cash award and a $5,000 donation to his or her charity of choice.
Since the Energizer Bunny® first appeared more than 17 years ago, its unique spirit and endless energy have inspired people to identify with the ability to keep going. According to a national survey:
• 83 percent say they have a never-quit attitude, a keep going spirit;
• 75 percent of people say it's their determination that motivates them;
• Moms, firefighters and teachers topped the survey for people who are most like the Energizer Bunny.
The 2006 winner was 29-year-old John O'Leary of St. Louis, Missouri. A near-fatal burn accident when he was 9-years-old meant months of hospitalization and countless surgeries. Despite the challenges, John has persevered; in fact, he never slows down. Today he is married and has a 1-year-old son, he is a chaplain at a children's hospital, a volunteer Big Brother and works as a motivational speaker to encourage others to keep going, too. John split his charity donation between Big Brothers Big Sisters of St. Louis and Parkinson's disease research.
