Pre-Owned Rick Hansen : Man in Motion (Hardcover) 1550547593 9781550547597

The true story of Rick Hansen's journey around the world in a wheelchair powered by nothing but the strength in his arms and the determination in his heart. He was an athlete facing a challenge and hoping that along the way he could raise awareness of the potential of people with disabilities, and raise money to fund spinal cord research, rehabilitation and awareness. If someone had told him that, two years later, he'd be a national hero and a symbol of hope for people everywhere, he'd have laughed. As it turned out, they underestimated... A motivational account of the success of Rick's Man in Motion World Tour, the value of leadership, teamwork, and the strength of human spirit.
