Rick Hansen 感動人心的真實故事!
學校定期會安排不同人士來演講
這次上課期間
老師先發了Rick Hansen 的英文介紹書本
讓我們閱讀 答題 討論
Rick Hansen在他十五歲時因車禍半身不遂
但他靠著堅毅不饒的精神
經過多次的手術與復建療養
透過一些朋友的幫忙與策劃
他不畏辛勞地
花了兩年兩個月又兩天用輪椅徒手滑行環遊世界
為脊椎神經受損的殘障人士募款
共募集了兩千六百萬加幣
風雨無阻每天利用10~15小時用雙手推動輪椅
陸續走了40072公里
從溫哥華出發
終點也是在溫哥華～
（1987年 據當時也在場的老師說 那場面真是感人)
街道兩旁滿滿的人潮圍著等待他完成使命的那一刻
拉著歡迎字幕上寫著”Welcome home,The end jus the Begging”
他的精神鼓勵了許多人
將來人們會以他的精神繼續募更多款項
而將他的使命傳承下去!
他的真實故事也給了我們三個啟發
1.Always set goals and work as hard as you can do.
2.Try to make a different by helping others,you own life will be richer for it.
3.Be the best you can be,Anything is possible.

Rick Hansen, C.C., O.B.C.
President and CEO, Rick Hansen Foundation
In 1985, Rick Hansen pushed his wheelchair out of Vancouver, B.C. and set out on a journey that would make history. His legendary Man In Motion World Tour spanned more than 40,000 km through 34 countries; took over two years to complete; and raised more than $26 million for spinal cord injury. Rick’s incredible achievement became a testament to the strength of the human spirit and the power of teamwork. His courage and determination inspired us to believe in the possibility of a fully accessible and inclusive society, and a cure for spinal cord injury.
Following a car crash at the age of 15, Rick sustained a spinal cord injury that paralyzed him from the waist down. Forced to define a new life for himself, Rick never hesitated to challenge society’s perceptions about what is possible for anyone with big dreams and the passion to see them through. Rick was the first student with a physical disability to graduate in Physical Education from the University of British Columbia. He went on to become a world-class athlete, winning 19 international wheelchair marathons, including three world championships, and competed for Canada in the 1984 Olympic Games.
In 1987, Rick was appointed a Companion of the Order of Canada and has received several honorary degrees. As a positive role model dedicated to improving the world around him, Rick has a remarkable ability to engage and motivate youth. He regularly shares his message of hope, inspiration and the importance of making a positive difference in the lives of others with young people across Canada.
Today, Rick is still a Man In Motion. As President and CEO of the Rick Hansen Foundation, Rick remains committed to making communities more accessible and inclusive for people with a spinal cord injury, and advancing spinal cord research. Through Rick’s leadership, the Foundation has generated over $200 million for spinal cord injury related programs and initiatives.
Rick lives in Richmond B.C. with his wife, Amanda, and their three daughters Emma, Alana and Rebecca. He has a passion for the outdoors and volunteers his time to support fish conservation. As Chair of both the Fraser River Sturgeon Conservation Society and the Pacific Salmon Endowment Fund Society, Rick is a strong voice for helping to restore and protect sturgeon and salmon populations.

今天的講員是Steve先生
一米九五的身高 又是RCMP結業的英才
上天雖作弄人
但卻也讓我們明瞭人處於逆境時的韌性與毅力的偉大
他的網站如下: http://www.stevegrout.com
他的故事也是很令人感動
Steve於UBC體育系畢業後 考入RCMP
(Royal Canadian Mounted Police加拿大皇家騎警)
參加集訓為時六個月
在結業前複習體操運動時
從單槓高高的跌落
頭部先著地 護墊不夠厚無法保護他
當他聽到自己骨頭斷裂的聲音
他心想 大事不妙了！
醫生在他受傷六個月的時告訴他家人＂他這一生都不可能再站起來了”
家人與醫生都沒告訴他實情
由於婚期已定
且他未婚妻堅持按照原定結婚計畫
在他受傷第七個月時和他舉行結婚典禮
歷經一連串手術 治療與復健過程
被低潮不斷打擊的他也曾想過放棄
但在他幾乎要崩潰與放棄時
接到Rick 親筆信為他加油鼓勵
且在信中提到
等他環行世界一周後
將會與他碰面
這劑強心劑似乎給了他奇蹟與更強的毅力
讓他在第七個月後可以再站起來參加自己的婚禮
雖然只是短短的紅毯那一端
對他說來
卻是付出許多汗水與努力才達成的 ～
一年後他的家人才告訴他
當時醫生曾宣布他這一生應該是無法再站立了!
但為了愛他做到了！！
在整個演講過程中他都是坐在輪椅上
最後他起立向課堂上的學生致意時 大家都報以熱烈的掌聲
我與同是台灣來的同學Alice感動地都哭了！
現在他在Rick Hansen基金會當義工
還是個音樂家 精通許多樂器 也在高中教書
目前有兩個可愛活潑的兒子
他的人生充滿考驗與磨練
但他從未怨天尤人
他的運動員精神讓這種奇蹟出現
也透過參加義工 分享他的故事
在基金會幫助同樣需要幫助的人
根據統計
加拿大每年有1100人因不同意外而脊椎神經受損
這次6月份有個募款會
我跟同學約了要一起去當義工
盡一點點心力
當然最重要的是鼓勵自己以正面積極的態度去面對人生！
