Two men who share the determination to make the most of life while making a difference chatted briefly on Monday afternoon after the official unveiling of the Rick Hansen monument at the Tourism Discovery Centre. Kane Fraser and his family — wife Cara and their twin daughters Lily and Alora — posed with former hometown resident Rick Hansen (right) in front of the monument honouring him and his Man in Motion world tour. The phrase on the monument says “Never give up on your dreams.” Fraser, who recently lived one of his dreams by competing and finishing in the Baja 1000, is obviously continuing through life as a subscriber to that inspiring message. Fraser, who was injured 13 years ago, chose the Baja 1000 as his first competitive race and decided to fundraise, with a goal of raising $25,000 for the Rick Hansen Foundation in celebration of the 25th anniversary of the Rick Hansen Man in Motion World Tour.
