Twenty five years after his Man In Motion World Tour, and in preparation for his 25th anniversary relay which will re-create the Canadian-portion of his original tour, Rick Hansen is looking for residents of Prince George to help cover the 12,000 kilometre trek across Canada. One man in motion will be represented and celebrated by many in motion; as 7,000 participants from across Canada who have made their own difference in the lives of others will walk, wheel or run in the Rick Hansen relay when it begins Aug. 24 in Cape Spear, Newfoundland and Labrador and concludes on May 22, 2012 in Vancouver. The 25th anniversary relay is planned to pass through Prince George in March 2012.
To find and recognize these participants, the Rick Hansen Foundation launched an online public contest that opens April 5 at RickHansenRelay.com, allowing Canadians to enter to win a spot for themselves or nominate a worthy individual to participate in the relay as a medal-bearer.
