The anniversary relay has retraced a segment of the original Man in Motion World Tour that Rick Hansen completed in 1987. From coast to coast, covering over 12,000km and stopping in over 600 communities, the anniversary relay continues to raise awareness for the Rick Hansen Foundation which has raised more than $250 million over the years to accelerate progress towards a cure for spinal cord injury, and a more accessible and inclusive world.
