Rick Hansen: Man in Motion shares the powerful true story of one of Canada’s most admired figures. After a devastating accident as a teenager left him a paraplegic, Rick Hansen faced a future that looked entirely different from the sports-filled life he had imagined.
Through candid reflections, he describes the early days in hospital, the physical and emotional hurdles of rehabilitation, and his determined return to elite competition as a world champion in wheelchair sports. The narrative balances humour and heartbreak as it traces how he rebuilt his identity and set increasingly ambitious goals.
At the heart of the book is the Man in Motion World Tour, an extraordinary 24,901-mile wheelchair journey through 34 countries. Along the way, Hansen raises both awareness and funds for spinal cord research, rehabilitation, and wheelchair sports, becoming a global advocate for people with disabilities.
The story also highlights his relationship with Amanda, the physiotherapist he calls his lifeline, bringing a personal and hopeful dimension to his public achievements.

This seller was incredible. I purchased an inexpensive (used) book and was almost immediately notified that it shipped on the same day I ordered it. I received it within 2 days. It was exactly as described - it looked like it had never even been read! Great service & a great product. Thanks!
