Man in Motion brings Many in Motion

Today I had the great honour of being a Medal Bearer for the Rick Hansen 25th Anniversary Tour.  Only 7000 Canadians will carry the medal across the country.  I also had the most amazing opportunity to meet Rick.  It was a very inspiring day and I met a number of people who really make you believe that "Anything is Possible".

A great group of children that participated

All finished and on our way back.

Did you know that Rick's journey was the basis for the song St. Elmo's Fire (Man in Motion)?
The words of the song are quite inspirational.
The 80's video, not so inspirational ;)

    I've never heard of this besides your mentions of it. I guess this is from me not being in Canada but I can tell this is truly an amazing experience.

    Congratulations. You must be so happy and proud. I am proud of you just by knowing you did it. The pictures are quite amazing in their own rights.

    Yes that medal IS incredible! I should have mentioned that it is a pound of silver! And so detailed. It even has the details from one of the gloves that Rick wore on his last tour.
