Artikelbeschreibung des Verkäufers

Hardcover. The inspiring story of Canadian hero Rick Hansen, who wheeled around the world to raise money and awareness for people with disabilities. In 1973, at the age of 15, Rick Hansen was in a life-changing car accident that left him paralyzed from the waist down. Twelve years later, motivated by the challenges he faced, Rick embarked on the two-year-long Man In Motion World Tour, wheeling 40,075 kilometers through 34 countries on four continents. Despite the many obstacles Rick encountered during the Tour, he never gave up on his dream: to raise awareness about the enormous potential of people with disabilities. His tour raised $26 million to help with the creation of an accessible and inclusive world. Written in consultation with Rick Hansen and dynamically illustrated, this biographical picture book invites readers to join Rick through the ups and downs of the Man In Motion World Tour and shows the power of perseverance and dedication. AGES: 5 to 8 AUTHORS: Lorna Schultz Nicholson is an award-winning author of over fifty books. She has published middle grade fiction, young adult fiction, non-fiction sports books, and picture books including What to Bring.

He is the founder of the Rick Hansen Foundation, which promotes accessibility and inclusion for people with disabilities across Canada and around the world.
