This segment from the 1996 Young Heroes Award Ceremony features a profile of honoree Robert Vincent, a student at Erath High School. Despite having muscular dystrophy, Vincent maintains a grade point average over 3.5, is a school leader and volunteers at the local museum. In addition, he almost single-handedly raised $60,000 to build a new track at his school. Host: Beth Courtney Host: Bonny Botts
