A 12-year-old girl from Minnesota Natalie Flaherty distributed more than 100,000 anti-hate bracelets won this year’s Gloria Barron Prize for Young Heroes winners. Natalie Flaherty won the $10,000 award for her global initiative, ‘I Stand with Anne’, which aims to transform Holocaust remembrance into daily action. The bracelets she made read, “I Stand With Anne, Put a Stop to Hate.” Fairmont girl Flaherty was inspired after reading Anne Frank's story three years back and her hope to end hatred started from there. And this led to the beginning of "I Stand with Anne, Put a Stop To Hate" campaign. Through it, she distributed more than 100,000 bracelets in more than 50 countries across the globe. "I'm very proud of myself," said Flaherty. "It makes me feel so accomplished and people are actually seeing my message."
