May is National Mobility Awareness Month and the Local Heroes Campaign is now in full swing to support NMAM. Spokespeople Mike Savicki and Ashley Lauren Fisher talk about how viewers can participate in the ongoing campaign now. They discuss how to nominate and vote for someone in your life who triumphs over adversity, giving them the chance to be named a local hero - and win a wheelchair accessible van.

They also share their personal stories and how finding the right resources have allowed them to live active, mobile lifestyles, including automotive mobility solutions that most people don't know exist.
