Barnstable Heroes: Help Patch Recognize Difference Makers

BARNSTABLE, MA — The adage 'not all heroes wear capes' is more apparent now than ever. Countless people are putting themselves in danger by simply showing up to work in essential roles for our communities, risking possible infection from the new coronavirus.

Doctors, nurses, police and grocery store workers alike are just some of the professions with a high potential for exposure to the virus. Patch wants to recognize as many of these heroes as possible. Here's one hero we recognized:

Vacationing Mayor Rescue Cape Cod Couple's Wedding

When a Cape Cod couple's wedding officiant didn't show up, Everett Mayor Carlo Demaria took time away from his vacation to do the ceremony.

We know you've encountered or seen them around town, and we want to help recognize as many of these heroes as possible. If the heroism happened a while ago, at the height of the outbreak, that's okay.

Let us know about those making a difference in this difficult time by filling out the form below and we'd be happy to share their impact with the rest of the community.
