MAN IN MOTION ♿️ RICK HANSEN DEDICATION ♿️ 🇨🇦 ON A SATURDAY MORNING SUNSHINE 🌞 ENJOY YOUR WEEKEND EVERYONE & TAKE CARE 💕 🥰 💕
In 1971, after a severe accident left him partially paralyzed, Rick Hansen lost the ability to walk. Instead of withdrawing from life, he trained relentlessly in wheelchair athletics. Years later he launched the “Man in Motion” world tour, traveling through dozens of countries to raise awareness for spinal cord injuries. The limitation that once seemed like the end of his path became the very reason for his mission. Writer Ryan Holiday describes this Stoic idea clearly: obstacles are not interruptions. They are raw material for progress.
Rick Hoyt was once told he would never speak, never learn, never live independently.
He became the first person to graduate from Boston University who could not speak.
His father learned to swim for him.
Learned to run for him.
Learned to endure for him.
“YES YOU CAN.”
Rick’s inspirational journey was supported by his mother, Judy Hoyt — a fierce advocate who fought for his right to education and helped shape national special-education policy, ensuring that children with disabilities could learn alongside their peers.

I can't believe Chuck norris passed away 😭 rip to a true legend!!
Former NHL star Ron Duguay is tackling his toughest opponent yet—Stage 4 cancer—with the same grit he once displayed on the ice.
The challenge has proven both physically and financially taxing, leading the one-time New York Ranger children to launch a GoFundMe to cover the high costs of travel between Florida and California for specialized and holistic treatments.
"He started having a really hard time with his finances probably about 8 months ago. It's been a real struggle," his daughter, Shay Thomas, told 1010 WINS. "Cancer doesn't stop. It doesn't fight fair. So you think you're doing well, you're on your way to recovery, and then it shows up somewhere else."
Duguay admits that his background in professional sports has given him a unique foundation for this battle. "What you go through as a hockey player, because it's very challenging physically and mentally, I think it almost prepares you for a challenge like this off the ice," he said.
While he was initially hesitant to accept financial help, he has been deeply moved by his family’s devotion to his recovery during this time. He admits that seeing his children’s support has been "overwhelming" and has taken their relationship "to a way other level."
"I keep getting reminded, 'Ron, it's OK to get help because you've helped many over the years," Duguay said.
Despite the diagnosis, Duguay is maintaining an active lifestyle and even returning to the ice for pickup games with former teammates and views his recovery through the lens of a professional athlete’s rehabilitation process. "I'm in a good place. I just need to do the work. It's like an athlete who gets hurt. You look at it like, OK, I'm going to do the rehab, and I'm going to do everything I can. I'm going to get myself back," he said.
Duguay remains focused on a victory. "I have the hockey spirit in me. The gladiator warrior in me that, I may drop to my knees, but I'm getting up. I look at the situation of mine as a challenge. I am not gonna lose. I'm going to win."
