| Summary, etc |
"In 1973, at the age of 15, Rick Hansen was in a life-changing car accident. A spinal cord injury had left him paralysed from the waist down. Twelve years later, Rick embarked on the two-year-long Man In Motion World Tour, wheeling 40,075 kilometers through 34 countries on four continents. His goal? To raise awareness about the enormous potential of people with disabilities, to create an accessible and inclusive world, and to find a cure for spinal cord injuries. Despite the many obstacles Rick faced, he never gave up on achieving his dream. This is an inspiring picture book account of Rick's tour and a celebration of an international hero who has raised millions of dollars to create a world without barriers for people with disabilities. The backmatter includes a note from Rick and extra facts about this tour."-- Provided by publisher.
