IRVINE, Calif., Nov. 20 /PRNewswire/ -- Growing up in New York City, Anthony Sanchez remembers a childhood with little access or exposure to nature. Not until age 13, when he was enrolled in a parochial school in upstate New York, did Sanchez have an opportunity to immerse himself in a non-urban environment. He felt a connection to the natural world that he never realized was possible. In 1991, the experience inspired Sanchez to co-found the Eagle Eye Institute in the hope that other urban children from low-income urban areas could ... experience nature. Now, Sanchez has been identified as one of the nation's top 40 heroes and is in the running to be named "America's Greatest Hometown Hero" in the 6th Annual Volvo for life Awards -- an annual, nationwide search for real-life heroes across America.
