SpiritHorse: Helping Children With Disabilities Soar

Ex-telecom executive Charles Fletcher created a global network of therapeutic riding centers serving children with disabilities--free of charge.

So he studied up on how to help heal and plowed his Social Security checks into launching SpiritHorse, an organization which has changed more than 5,000 children's lives worldwide.
