"Rick Hansen's mission and message remain as compelling and vital today as when he first set out on his amazing odyssey...Rick is still a hero to me, and to millions of others in Canada and around the world although...he'd tell you he's just a guy with a strong belief that Anything is possible." -Reviewed by Michael J. Fox.
In 1973, Rick Hansen was a carefree teenager hitchhiking home from a fishing trip, a kid who lived and breathed sports. But after the truck he was riding in went out of control and crashed, Hansen was left a paraplegic.
Hansen takes you from the first painful days and frightening nights in hospital, through the gritty process of rehabilitation, to his return to competition as a world champion of wheelchair sports. It is the story of the Man in Motion Tour -- Rick Hansen's incredible 24,901.55-mile wheelchair journey through 34 countries around the world.
