‘Champion Thing’ – Length 4:19
Jacob was beaten as a kid and is brain damaged from a car accident. He walks every day from Ashfield to Central Station to catch up with the homeless who have become his only friends. He helps out on the food vans to assist the disadvantaged. A true champion.
‘The best way to not feel hopeless is to get up and do something. Don’t wait for good things to happen to you. If you go out and make some good things happen, you will fill the world with hope, you will fill yourself with hope’
– Barack Obama
