TODD BEAMER

Meaning of TODD BEAMER in English

An act of selfless heroism, usually at great personal cost to the person performing the act. (Paul, Garret, I know this technically violates the rules but I beg an exception in this case as this really has become part of the American lexicon. Thanks, Stephen) Example: Her decision to endure the painful process of bone marrow donation to save the life of a little girl she didn't even know was a real Todd Beamer.
