Name a hero you admire and why? My brother Chad Gill, as he showed perseverance in following his passion since he was a young boy in wanting to serve his community. He became a volunteer firefighter at the age of 18, and took a job opportunity 11 years ago in which he moved for. He is currently Captain of The North Charleston Fire Department in North Charleston South Carolina, volunteers for Horry County Fire Department and is a lead instructor for On Scene Training LLC which provides different trainings for firefighters.
Biography: Chelsea Gill is the proud owner of Anointed through Grace Incorporated which assists those grieving in an integrative, holistic approach. Thirteen years ago, Chelsea’s life changed forever when her daughter was born with a disability which catapulted her to research her condition and to find therapies that can assist, as there are no doctors local that treat it. Knowing there were no local support groups for her daughter’s condition, she brought it upon herself to give back to the community in ways she could only hope others would do for her. Over the last 12 years Chelsea has devoted her time to the community with raising funds for local nonprofits through events, volunteering and sponsorships. She currently sits on The Board of Directors for The Firefighter Arno Memorial Foundation, volunteers for Tunnel to Towers Foundation, WNY Law Enforcement Helpline, Kaelys Kindness, Hope Rises, Bills Fan Thunder, and Sensational Fun.
