The Rick Hansen Foundation was established as a Canadian charity in 1988 and has since been dedicated to Rick’s life-long goal of creating an inclusive world where people with disabilities are living to their full potential.
Rick Hansen Foundation is launching a new national campaign called Access4All that is aiming to shine a light on this issue and promote universal accessibility in Canada.
The multimedia campaign showcases people with disabilities enjoying the right to participate in everyday activities like breaking a sweat at the gym, going on a date at a nice restaurant, or shopping in a fancy boutique. The goal is to point out that people with different abilities still lack access to common places like gyms, restaurants, and shops; something that most of us take for granted.
It’s been 30 years since Rick Hansen’s riveting journey -- one that spanned 40,000 kilometres and 34 countries over the course of two years -- during which he raised $26 million for spinal cord #research.
