Man in Motion

by Chris 9. May 2012 23:06

It has been 25 years since Rick Hansen completed his Man in Motion World Tour, travelling 40,000 kilometres by wheelchair through 34 countries, to prove the potential of people with disabilities. His 26-month journey inspired a nation to believe anything is possible.

In this interview with CTV reporter Henry Kowalski, Rick looks back on the tour, speculates on his future and talks about hope. Shortly after, he established the Rick Hansen Foundation to find a cure for spinal cord injuries and to create more accessible communities.

Since 1988, the Foundation has turned the $26 million raised during the Tour into $252 million in investments for the cause. You can learn more or make a donation at the Rick Hansen Foundation website.
