Mitch Darnell, MS, OSM, CTRC – Founder, Executive Director                              

Mitch was inspired by children’s responses when he visited them in hospitals playing “Tony The Tiger” for Kellogg’s.  He recognized that visits are very positive for the kids. Subsequently he became a Psychotherapist, seeing intuitive work with Jungian Archetypes (such as the Princess and the SuperHero) powerfully inspire positive change for people!

Meanwhile, Mitch thrives on creativity…

So, he founded the League of Heroes Inspired as a result of his commitment to make an enduring positive impact on the lives of children, particularly those who have been traumatized. When not busy with the LHI, Mitch loves time with his son Branton, family, and snowskiing, SCUBA diving, playing piano (Rock), and reading.

Jason Bishop – Gift Drive Director                             

Hello!! My name is Jason Bishop and I am glad to be a part of something amazing such as this. I am a long-time resident of Sacramento and enjoy giving back to my community any way that I can. When offered to lend a hand to “League of Heroes Inspired”, I could not say no. In my line of work, I interact with the public on a daily basis and given today’s circumstances there is nothing I would enjoy more than impacting someone’s life for the better.

My sister and I come from a widowed mother and know the struggles of a single parent trying to give their children everything they want. During the holidays, many families take for granted the lifestyle in which they live. I have seen the pain in a parent’s eyes when they have nothing left to give but a hug good morning and a kiss goodnight. What’s truly upsetting is that some children do not even receive that. While others hope for video games, bicycles, basketball hoops, iPhones etc. there are some that just wish for new socks, new shirts, a jacket with a few less holes, a place to call home, a family to spend time with. This may sound like a broken record, but it still holds true. There are millions of people in this world that will wake up this holiday morning with nothing but hope for a better day. I can rest easy knowing that there are organizations such as “League of Heroes Inspired” impacting so many lives this year.

I am proud to be our Gift Drive Director, and I cannot wait to bring joy to so many children and families within the community I live. Thank you Mitch Darnell for reaching out.

“It’s not enough to have lived. We should be determined to live for something. May I suggest that it be creating joy for others, sharing what we have for the betterment of personkind, bringing hope to the lost and love to the lonely.” -Leo Buscagila

Verona Mhoon– Therapeutic Cosplay Program Director 

 Looking forward to contributing what I’ve learned from theater to psychology. Particularly welcome is this opportunity to give back to our medical community.

Decades ago I visited grammar schools promoting visits for health check ups, noting, “You don’t have to be sick to visit the Doctor!”  This was through my membership in the “Dr Staywell” Doctors Wives school program.  Heroes will be such positive fun after watching by my Doctor Husband Randy’s side throughout his medical training & career here. Sincerely, Verona Marquis Mhoon.
