----------------------The Imaginary City-------------------------------

Imagine a city where creativity runs wild,...
Our hearts full of love, with hope like a child.
We collect moments not things,
And everyone is treated like queens and like kings.

Take the highway of progress then take a right,
Everyone's welcome here, we'll leave on the light.
No hunger or poverty, opportunity never runs dry
When you hurt I do too, your tears I also cry.

No matter what we believe, we believe in each other.
A city build on respect and bursting with colour.
Equality gained through collaboration,
Violence eliminated by education.

Generosity, not greed. Empathy, not pity.
Freedom for all in our imaginary city.
Here we foster growth and reduce the pollution,
Hard work and kindness is the solution.

Hope cities like this will one day be customary, be the new ordinary.
Looking back didn't all cities start out imaginary?

Tysen's Mission To A Million

Tonight I met a true inspiration. The definition of a hero. This boy is 15 years old and plays hockey on the same team as my brother and his name is Tysen. This whole team consists of kids with special needs. This particular boy went on a make-a-wish trip and met Adam Sandler as his wish. Because he had such an amazing time he wanted to make sure that other kids had the same opportunity to get their wishes like he did. He set a goal, he made a plan and he set it in motion.

This was two and a half years ago and he has since raised $500,000 for the Make A Wish Foundation. In 913 days he managed to raise half a million dollars! This means he has already granted 45 kids wishes!  I was sitting there listen to him and his parents talk and was truly amazed by the dedication and kindness that this young boy must have. His goal is to reach 1 million dollars and I have no doubt in my mind that he will get there. I am beyond humbled by his generosity and perseverance.
