It's time to Get Your Wheels In Motion

Rick Hansen Wheels in Motion Event – June 13th, 2010

Since 2003, Wheels In Motion has raised over $10.8 million!  You can help maintain this momentum by registering a team for this year’s event, being held across Canada on June 13. Wheels In Motion is for people of all ages and all abilities. No one is left on the sidelines with on-site activities to get everyone moving. The event features a wheelchair challenge, designed to provide participants with a better understanding of what it is like to navigate through life in a wheelchair. Teams race against the clock through an obstacle course and test their dexterity, manouvering techniques, and wheelchair sports skills. The fastest team wins! You can also walk in support of Wheels. Just collect pledges and join the fun. C’mon out, try your hand at various challenges and listen to some awe-inspiring stories – all while supporting a great cause.
