Description
Rick Hansen suffered a spinal cord injury at the age of 15 after a car accident. But it didn't stop him from moving--during the 1980s he was active in the Paralympics as a wheelchair basketball player. Hansen circumnavigated the globe in his wheelchair, raising awareness and money for spinal cord research in a 26-month trek across four continents and 34 countries. 64 pp.
