Canada’s Man in Motion, Rick Hansen, brought his inspirational message to St. Francis of Assisi elementary school on Sept. 15. Hansen, who will soon celebrate the 25th anniversary of embarking on a 35-country, four-continent wheelchair tour to raise money for spinal cord research, was invited by the school community and the Moeller family after Karl Moeller, a Grade 4 student, was paralyzed in a motor vehicle accident. The school has raised $70,000 for a lift-equipped bus and building modifications so Karl can return to class. See next week's B.C. Catholic for the full story and pictures.
