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.

For some people that could have been the end. For Rick Hansen it was the beginning of a story that is at once sad and funny, heartbreaking and inspirational.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 tourRick Hansens incredible 24,901.55-mile wheelchair journey through 34 countries around the world.

It is also the love story of Hansen and his wife, Amanda, a physiotherapist whom Hansen calls his lifeline. And it is a success storyRick Hansen has raised millions of dollars for spinal cord research, rehabilitation and wheelchair sports as well as raised awareness about the disabled.
