An aviation program in halifax has started up once again for its seventh year running. Dream wings is a nonprofit organization that takes children with special needs on the flight of a lifetime. Global's ella macdonald went for our along for a ride in the dream wings aircraft. Take a look. >> Dimitri neonakis is a seasoned pilot. He's been flying more than 25 years, but his favorite flights by far have been with children like 11 year old chloe paul howlett, who has cerebral palsy and uses a wheelchair. I'm a little choked up, to see chloe. >> She reached out to me, grabbed my hand on my elbow. That's her saying thank you. She's nonverbal. You saw her. And, that's what makes me come back. >> In june 2017, neonakis founded dream wings, a free aviation program dedicated to children with special needs. One of those kids is 12 year old mckenzie crannach. >> I want to see kayla house houses, towns, neighbours. Yeah. >> And are you scared at all? >> No, I'm not. Not nervous. Nope. I am feeling great. >> Another dream wings passenger is 12 year old jason slocum, who lives with a rare disorder called kabuki syndrome. >> What are you gonna see when you're up in the sky today, mommy? I might see my boy and halifax kolade answers. I might see them. I might see him. I don't know neonakis says. >> Not only is dream wings a once in a lifetime experience for kids, but for some parents as well, especially those whose children need full time care for them to get a phone call and say, hey, come to the airport, let's spend a couple of hours together on the ground and in the air and do something unique. >> Is wonderful for them. They take a good break from their medical duties after coming down from the clouds. >> Crannach says her mom was scared, but she was brave enough for the both of them. >> I say mom really scared.

The president of the nova scotia nurses union, janet hazelton, says coverage for contraception and diabetes is crucial for those without a drug plan. >> We see far too many patients come to us leaving our emergency departments or leaving their family doctors or nurse practitioners with prescriptions for medications to treat their diabetes, whether it's insulin or oral medication, only to know that they are not getting that prescription filled because they can't afford it. These patients inevitably land back in the system, requiring more intensive health care like an amputation, hazelton says. >> Nurses across the country hope to see more medications covered by the federal pharmacare program. A ribbon cutting ceremony was held late last week to unveil the new name of the qe2's heart disease clinic, honoring a 16 year old hockey player who lost his life to an undiagnosed heart condition. As megan king reports, efforts to raise awareness around heart health by the boy's family over the years is creating life saving changes while keeping his memory alive. >> Family and friends joined health providers to unveil the newly named jordan boyd inherited heart disease clinic at the qe2 health sciences center. The event honored the 16

year old bedford hockey player, who lost his life to an undiagnosed inherited heart condition on what would have been his 27th birthday. >> To have other patients there and, you know, look up and see his name there and see all the other patients that are being, you know, looked at by the amazing team that's here. I think that's something that will really hit home in a way that I don't think I'm maybe ready for yet, but I think it'll be an emotional moment. But it'll be something I'll be very proud of. >> The boyd family has been raising awareness for heart health and making life saving tools available to the public since jordan's passing in 2013. This moment a culmination of over a decade of work towards keeping jordan's memory alive through a legacy of helping others. When we started on this journey ten years ago, this was never the game plan, so to speak. >> We just wanted to remember jordan. You know, jordan, I think, would be very humbled and proud to see this. This family has done so much, to honor their son, and for the community and for our clinic. And it's fantastic to honor him this way. >> To date, the boyd family has raised $1.2 million towards funding inherited heart disease research. They've come a long way in moving the needle on awareness around the importance of cpr and making automated external defibrillators accessible in public spaces. >> I don't think you can be understated. The impact that the boyd family has had on heart safe communities throughout nova scotia, the goal here is, is really to change that culture and get aeds from, you know, locked cabinets or inside offices to more public locations. And that's exactly what they've done. >> Described as a truly kind and caring person by his father. And a funny, humble shoulder to cry on by his brother jordan boyd is now forever memorialized at this clinic. His family taking a tragedy and putting it towards a good cause. >> The fact that there's something here today that shows that he'll always be a part of the conversation is something that means so much to me, megan king "global news, halifax. >> And let's say good morning and happy monday, I guess to ross hull. Good morning ross. >> Happy monday paul I know you're an avid biker. I was able to get out there over the weekend, which was great. It's always nice to be able to do those types of things that we enjoy over the weekend. And it wasn't necessarily biking, but it was walking that you were up to yesterday. >> Yeah, exactly. I was in lower sackville for the annual ms walks, so thanks to all the volunteers and organizers and the walkers who took part in nearly 200 walkers, ross and almost $80,000 raised for you know, hoping for a future to end. Ms. So it was a real positive, powerful experience. So a great time in lower sackville at a beautiful park called acadia park. And the rain just started when the walk ended, so that was a pretty good timing. I'm happy to hear. >> And I of course I made sure that was all the way unfolded. Paul, I'm glad that you got the event in without a major downpour, and we're going to stay mainly dry across the area today. We do have some wet weather though, in the forecast. More towards tomorrow, and I'll talk about that in a moment as we take a look at a wider perspective of, you can see relatively quiet. Sure, some mist and fog for some this morning that should clear out, although I do expect us to be into mostly cloudy conditions by the afternoon as that disturbance starts to advance. But a closer look is seeing not much going on when it comes to precipitation. A southeast wind. Currently, we'll get into a bit more of a southwesterly wind over the next 24 hours or so, and we're starting off with temperatures in the high single digits, low double digits for most. Although we're in the mid single digits this morning around places like sydney. Good morning to you there. As we look at your forecast conditions today, 13 to 15 degrees around the hrm 17 is the normal or average high. So a little cooler than average. We'll get up to the low 20s high teens as we head through most areas in new brunswick. So let's take a look at how it works. There's the cloud cover. This afternoon. Then we're watching out for this boundary that's going to move through bringing the potential for some showers. Some thunderstorms could be some heavier downpours. With this of course we do need the rain. It's been quite dry, but we don't need heavy rain in a short amount of time. So we'll have to watch out for that. Most of this now should clear out by wednesday, and then there will be the chance of more showers developing at times next week. Rainfall amounts at this point look to be in the 15 to 20 millimeter range for most, although locally this could be 25 plus millimeters. If we do get into those heavier thunderstorms. So unsettled tomorrow. High of 19 in fredericton. Then we see temperatures rise back up with sunshine 23 on wednesday into the high teens. Thursday and friday. Low 20s for this upcoming weekend. Wet weather on tuesday for the hrm 20 on wednesday. The chance of some showers on thursday. At this point, though, looking ahead to the weekend, temperatures ranging just around average at 17 with a sun cloud mix. And that's a look at ok tire weather paul. >> All right thanks for this ross. And that's a look at your local news headlines. We're right back with a look at national news right after this on the monday edition of "global news" morning.
