Heroes among us

Hector Guadalupe knows how far fitness can go

 in improving self-esteem -- and lives. After years

 of hardship, Guadalupe ended up spending 10

 years in prison. There, he became obsessed with

 fitness and got certified as a personal trainer. When

 he got out in 2017, he worked nonstop to establish

 himself on the fitness scene, and now runs A

 Second U Foundation, which helps formerly

 incarcerated men and women get certified as

 personal trainers and build careers in the fitness

 industry.    Read Hector's story here.

Lynda Doughty, a marine biologist who grew up in coastal Maine, has turned a lifetime of loving marine wildlife into a force for good. Since 2011, her nonprofit, Marine Mammals of Maine, has provided response efforts, assistance and medical care for more than 3,000 marine animals. The group also has federal authorization to provide temporary care for critically ill and injured seals. Along with veterinarians, the group's experts and volunteers also collect critical data about the area's precious marine life. Read Lynda's story here.
