Small acts can make a big difference.
On August 26th, 1986, Leslie Tomblin from Newfoundland, Canada followed behind the Man In Motion World Tour van on her bicycle.
Strapped behind the seat of Leslie’s bike were two empty ice cream buckets. Above the buckets was a sign that read, DONATIONS. Leslie collected $4,700.90 on her ride that day, becoming the Rick Hansen Foundation’s very first fundraiser.
Since 1986, over $280 million has been donated to the Rick Hansen Foundation, funding spinal cord injury (SCI) research, accessibility initiatives across Canada. But there is still a long way to go.
