If you would like to suggest a "Can Do!" person to be included on the Can Do! People page, please e-mail your idea and we'll see what we can do!

And just to let you know, a Can Do! person doesn't have to be "famous" - you can suggest someone you know... someone who is a member of your family, a neighbor, a friend, a teacher... or anyone who has overcome a lot of challenges by using his or her abilities and a Can Do! attitude.
