Every day across America, first responders—police officers, firefighters, paramedics, and military personnel—step into dangerous, uncertain situations to save lives. For many survivors, those moments are unforgettable, yet the identity of the person who changed or saved their life remains unknown. That’s where Find My Hero comes in.

Find My Hero®
We are proud to announce that Find My Hero® is now an officially registered trademark. This milestone represents more than a legal designation—it’s a promise. A promise to survivors seeking closure. A promise to heroes who deserve recognition. And a promise to our communities to preserve the stories of bravery that too often go untold.
What Is Find My Hero?
Find My Hero is a first-of-its-kind investigative service created by Madison Investigative Services and led by former Marine and retired Detective - Sergeant Don DiStefano. This initiative was born from the belief that a heroic act should never fade into obscurity. Whether someone was pulled from a burning building, revived after a cardiac arrest, protected during an act of violence, or rescued from a car crash or natural disaster - Find My Hero helps survivors reconnect with the individuals who made their second chance at life possible.

Many of these life-saving encounters happen during chaos. There is rarely time for names, hugs, or handshakes. Our job is to bridge that emotional and informational gap and give people the chance to say what they never got to: “Thank you!”
Why Reconnection Matters
The impact of being reunited with your hero is profound. Survivors often carry deep gratitude—and sometimes lingering questions—about the person who saved them. Finding that hero can bring closure and healing. On the other side, first responders seldom receive follow-up or recognition. They perform extraordinary acts as part of their duty, never expecting thanks. For many, hearing how their actions changed someone’s life is a powerful, emotional affirmation.
These reunions are not just about the past. They create ripples into the future - restoring faith, mending emotional wounds, and reminding all of us of the humanity that still exists in the world.
A Registered Commitment to Service

Now backed by federal trademark protection, Find My Hero stands as a lasting symbol of our mission.
Every investigation is conducted discreetly, professionally, and with a process that ensures the utmost respect for privacy.
