NORTHRIDGE, CALIF – With words of change echoing across the country, Americans have been challenged to embrace the possibilities ahead and reestablish the greatness of this nation. America’s ability to seize this challenge as a whole begins with the steps taken by each individual. In celebration of the inherent excellence found in all people, Nature Made® has created a forum in which everyday stories of greatness will be shared and commemorated: Fuel Your Greatness™. The Documentary . These tales of achievement will provide motivation and inspiration to others working to achieve their personal greatness.

Nature Made, the nation’s number one best-selling brand of vitamins, minerals, herbs and supplements in the food, drug, mass and club channels, is encouraging individuals to submit their personal stories of greatness at www.NatureMade.com. Submissions will be accepted from February 1 to April 25, 2009. At the end of each month, from February to April, 10 individuals will be selected to receive a congratulatory award of $1,000. In May, five participants will be selected to be featured in Fuel Your Greatness™. The Documentary.The final selection process will be led by a panel of experts who have achieved greatness in their respective fields.

The expert panel includes Denise Austin, well-known fitness guru; Michele Beschen, high-spirited lifestyle expert and how-to hipster; Karen Salmansohn, best-selling author, with titles including How to be Happy Dammit and The Bounce Back Book: How to Thrive in the Face of Adversity, Setbacks and Losses; and Chester Santos, memory expert and current United States National Memory Champion.

“We all think of personal greatness in different ways. Greatness doesn’t have to mean running a marathon or climbing Mount Everest,” says Denise Austin. “Rather, it’s those small things we do to strengthen ourselves each day. It can mean striving to meet smaller daily goals, like walking for 30 minutes every day, or learning a new craft, like gardening or sewing. For some, it can even be more of a journey, such as committing to a charitable cause or pursuing continuing education – anything in which you find personal fulfillment.”
