A Brief History on Heather McPherson

• Heather McPherson was a straight shooter, and
  graduated four years later with high honors and a
  successful collegiate sports career under her
  belt. Now back in her hometown of Detroit,
  Heather McPherson has become a driving force in
  anti-literacy campaigns, homeless assistance
  programs and animal adoption shelters. Her
  activism and support of two children are
  supplemented by her work as the bestselling
  author of the Dr. Bob series.

Heather McPhersons Success is Driven by
Competitive Nature

• Growing up a sports fan in Detroit, Heather
  McPherson loved following the Detroit Lions
  football team, as well at the Detroit Tigers
  baseball team. She went to games whenever she
  could, however for most of her younger years,
  high ticket prices had gotten in the way of her
  ability to see her favorite sports live. Inspired
  by the poverty in her neighborhood, McPherson
  chose volunteering at soup kitchens and animal
  shelters over income-based jobs when she was old
  enough to work, a choice she thought would
  further hinder her ability to see her favorite
  teams in action.

Heather MacPherson was a Volunteer Before Middle
School

• Growing up in a rough area of Detroit, Heather
  McPherson passed by homeless people and stray
  pets as she walked to school every day. It was
  not long before she started pondering ways she
  could improve life in her community, even in her
  capacity as a young elementary school child with
  no professional experience.

Heather McPherson, a Single Supermom

• Heather soon learned that her service was
  inspiring more people than she had thought. An
  avid sports fan growing up, Heathers father used
  to take her and her brothers to Detroit Tigers
  games until he lost his job and could no longer
  afford the tickets. Heathers co-volunteers
  learned about her situation after almost a year
  of working with her, and it just so happened to
  be around the same time the Tigers, as well as
  the Detroit Lions, started donating tickets to
  those particular non-profits. Soon enough,
  Heather had the means to treat her family to
  sporting events, and another reason to keep
  volunteering.
