"As a coach, teacher and mayor, I value those who go the extra mile on the field, in the classroom and in the community. Going the extra mile to me is going above what is expected and setting a higher bar for oneself. Those who go the extra mile can inspire us all to do the same."

"I believe life's real heroes are the ones who unselfishly give of themselves to purposes that make life better for others," says Extra Mile Day founder . "It's the teacher spending after school hours in preparation, the volunteer serving food to the homeless, and the neighbor mowing the lawn for a busy neighbor. It's all the little gestures we do as individuals and organizations that make a difference in the quality of someone else's life."
