Every month heroes across the Magic Valley are nominated for the Duran Group Hometown Hero Award, Powered by Re/MAX Legacy. Three finalists are then voted for by the community to determine who will win the award for the month. Each individual is deserving, but only one wins the award each month. The winner for July was chosen, thanks to the community voting for him to represent the community for the month. The winner for July was James Hunt-Pyeatt.

The nominator for James said he is always putting himself last, helping others rather it’s someone broke down on the side of the road or getting the homeless man on the corner food and water. He has come a long way from the old lifestyle he lived. He deserves to be shown he is a true hero. Not everyone can admit their wrongdoings and turn their life around the way he has. This man helps encourage kids who have a rough life to play sports and even offers to buy what they need and pay their way through. Always encouraging someone to do better or help them be better.

If you know somebody, like James, that you believe should be nominated next month, make sure to write a little bit about them and share why you think that individual should be nominated. There are tons of heroes in the Magic Valley that go unrecognized every day, and this is a way for their stories to be heard and to be recognized for their selfless acts.
