Marvel Actors Heroes In Real Life Too

Chris Evans and Robert Downey Jr. in
their movie roles as heroes
This week two stories have popped up across the web about three different actors in the Marvel Studios movie universe. Chrises Pratt (Starlord) and Evans (Captain America) visited a Seattle hospital together to bring joy to child patients, and Robert Downey, Jr. (Iron Man) presented a working bionic arm to a boy with a partial arm.

Mssrs. Chris, Evans and Pratt, apparently had a Super Bowl bet whereby Evans was supposed to visit Seattle Children's Hospital if the Seattle Seahawks won, and Pratt was supposed to visit Christopher's Haven in New England if the New England Patriots won. But in the end, they decided no one should lose, or is it both should win?, and Evans went with Pratt to the Seattle hospital so the kids got a two-fer in the deal.

The tweet below included this picture of the two of them with some lucky girls.
RDJ's presented 7-year old Alex with an Iron Man themed bionic arm, how cool is that? He tweeted about his experience is below, I highly recommend watching the video (click on the link) although it may cause even all you men out there to get leaky eyes.
Can you imagine going to school
with this Iron Man arm? #popular
The arm was made by Albert Manero and The Collective Project, who are doing amazing work together making artificial limbs through 3D printing which makes them far more affordable.

Tosa Embracing, Placing Skaters In Safe Space

Hey look quick, its kids being active! It is all too common for us to bemoan the sedentary lifestyle of modern children and there are many efforts to increase their level of activity. At the same time, we condemn physical activities we once did as youths with no thought of safety. It is understandable that we want to protect our kids and promote safe practices like wearing of helmets. But how do we reconcile our concerns of safety while also promoting physical activity? One of the best ways is to create and maintain safe spaces for them to do the activities. In Wauwatosa they are doing just that with a new skate park being planned in Hart Park. With the assistance of Tosa Skateboarders United , TSU, and the  Jack Doyle Memorial Challenge Grant funds have been raised to build a new skate park that will provide a dedicated, safe place for skaters in the city to, well, skate.
