Need a real hero? Here's one

So President Obama won the Nobel peace prize for being the President of America. It doesn't make him a hero. Acts like this separate the men from the boys.
Lloyd Gardener came forward to answer a Crimewatch appeal after a woman was attacked and left for dead while walking home from a nightclub.

She was found naked under a truck with a fractured skull, and is still confined to a wheelchair more than three years after her ordeal.

A horrifying ordeal indeed. Mr Gardener realized that the man who did this must be apprehended and did the utmost to make sure that he was.

Well done Mr Gardener for coming forward.


Lloyd Gardner from Exeter, Devon, (above) was given a £10,000 reward for helping convict Polish national Jakob Tomczak

But that is not all.

He was given around $16,000 reward money for helping police track down witnesses. And here is where he became a hero. He donated it to the rape victim, a wheelchair bound Polish woman, who returned home after her vicious attack, as he thought it would help her more than it would him.

As we say over here 'what a mentsch!'.
