Heroes

I'm looking for heroes. Not necessarily brave or exciting heroes, more people who just got on with things but were steadfast in their commitment. People whose names might be meaningful to schoolchildren.

So far I've come up with
Anne Frank
Greta Thunberg
Marcus Rashford
Grace Darling

Please give me more suggestions...

You may think so, but many kids admire her and take her very seriously.

Excellent point. Thank you. Heroes can also be invisible.
