isICK HANSEN has caught
the imagination of North
Shore residents who have
been actively fund raising
for his Man in Motion tour
throughout the year.

Students, individual residents,
charity groups and businesses all
got behind the wheelchair athlete
and his goal to raise $10 million
for spinal cord research.

After two vears on the road
Hansen comes home today.

The main focus for Handsworth
Secondary School's student council
this year has been fund raising for
Hansen.

The students raised $3,500 from
a jello eating contest, coin drive,
raffle, lip sync and cupid com-
patibility contest.

Vice-principal Sally
Chamberlain said Hansen has been
a role model for the students.

“They really admire him for
what he’s doing. And it shows the
kids that they can do whatever
they set their minds to doing,’’ she
said.

Seven North Vancouver
residents were instrumentaj in
helping raise $50,000 for the Rick
Hansen Man in Motion tour.

The seven made up half of the
fund-raising committee from the
Vancouver Employee Benefit In-
dustry, which held an auction May
7 to raise the donation.

The local members are Ron
Young, Eileen Beadle, Roger
Leedham, Kathy Clarke, Roy
Dawson, David McAdam and
Pamela Mills.

General manager Jack Irwin of
North Vancouver’s Pacific Honda
said a special fund-raising promo-
‘tion was held allowing auto buyers
to donate money to Hansen’s
fund.

For each new or used car sold
between April 8 and 12, Pacific
Honda donated $100 to the charity
— $600 was raised.
