Nominations are now being accepted for the 2010 National Courage Award. Since 1980, Minnesota-based Courage Center has presented the National Courage Award, which recognizes an individual's contributions to the health, welfare and rehabilitation of people with disabilities.

King Jordan, Trisha Meili, Itzhak Perlman, Christopher Reeve, Janet Reno, Edward V. Roberts, and Emmanuel Ofosu Yeboah. The 2009 winner was Jordan Thomas, founder of the Jordan Thomas Foundation, one of 10 finalists for this year's CNN Hero Award.

The past winners are excellent examples of leadership, innovation and determination. We look forward to honoring the 2010 winner with your help. Nominations are being accepted through February 6, 2010 at www.couragecenter.org/natlcourageaward.
