The Untold Story of a Mom Who Built a Sanctuary from Despair—And Changed Lives Forever

Courage. Integrity. Commitment. Honesty. Respect.

Those are the values honored at the Pro Football Hall of Fame in Canton. But football isn’t the only place they live.

Through its Award of Character, the Pro Football Hall of Fame, in partnership with USA TODAY, recognizes everyday heroes — teachers, nurses, coaches, firefighters, police officers and veterans — whose work changes lives and strengthens communities.

This month’s honoree is Kerry Norton, a nurse who created Hope on Haven Hill, a New Hampshire recovery home giving mothers struggling with addiction a safe place to heal, rebuild and find hope again.Kerry Norton didn’t expect to be standing in front of a Hall of Famer.

But there was Andre Tippett, the longtime New England Patriots great and Pro Football Hall of Fame linebacker, there to deliver the news with Brittney Payton, daughter of the late Hall of Fame running back Walter Payton.

“We’re here to present you with the Pro Football Hall of Fame Award of Character,” Tippett told her.

Norton, caught off guard, immediately redirected the moment.
