CNN Heroes is looking for every day people that are changing the world – and they need your help!

A CNN Hero's journey to global recognition begins with a nomination by someone who's been touched by their efforts -- someone like you who wants us to share their story with the world.

History has shown that great things can happen to those selected as CNN Heroes:

· Andrea Ivory has nearly doubled the amount of free mammograms she's offered to underserved women in South Florida.

· Doc Hendley, of Boone, North Carolina, expanded his sustainable clean-water systems on three continents as well as earthquake-ravaged Haiti.

· Dan Wallrath, of Houston, Texas, and his organization, Operation Finally Home, doubled the number of homes they've built for injured veterans.

· Anne Mahlum expanded her Philadelphia running program for the homeless into eight cities across the country.

· Jordan Thomas of Chattanooga, Tennessee, hand-delivers prosthetic limbs to children in three countries.

Do you know someone that’s out there changing the world and making a difference? If so, please let CNN know.
