There's a man in his 80's, who lives in my city near a beautiful cliff.
It's a place people frequently go to suicide. Every time he sees someone too close to the edge, he rushes over and tries to stop them.
It's estimated he's saved over 160 people.
Don Ritchie, I don't know you, but you give me hope .

Don Ritchie passed away yesterday at the age of 85.
He was named a 'Local Hero' in the 2011 Austrailian of the Year Awards.
His funeral will be held on Friday.
By now, he's saved over 500 lives and I know alot of you have heard of him but for those of you who haven't, I think you should, because this guy's a real hero.♥
