“If you believe in a dream and have the courage to try, anything is possible.” – Rick Hansen

The first annual Rick Hansen Day of Possibilities is an opportunity for Canadians to rally together and fundraise for the Rick Hansen Foundation (RHF) on or before May 22nd, 2012.

We invite you to join in the celebration by hosting an event or raising funds individually, all while winning prizes and being a champion for RHF!

As a fundraiser for the Day of Possibilities, you will help RHF continue to transform lives. All the money you raise will support spinal cord injury (SCI) research and accessibility grants for individuals and communities across Canada.

Your help will move us closer to a world where those with SCI are able to walk away from their injury, where the billions living with disabilities have an equal opportunity to contribute to their communities.
