     Hansen began the Man in 
     
     Motion World Tour because 
     
     of his desire to eliminate the 
     
     need for wheelchairs, braces, 
     
     and other equipment used by 
     
     people who have suffered 
     
     spinal cord injuries. His goal 
     
     was inspired by personal 
     
    
   
   
    
     Man 
     
    
   
   
    
     friend Terry Fox, who died of: 
     
     cancer before completing his 
     
     cross-Canada run to raise 
     
     funds for cancer research. 
     
    

    
     The Man in Motion World 
     
     Tour was begun with these 
     
     goals in mind: 
     
    

    
     @ To create a world-wide 
     
     awareness of the potential 
     
     of disabled people. 
     
    

    
     To create an international 
     
     legacy fund for spinal cord 
     
     research, rehabilitation and 
     
     wheelchair sport. 
     
    

    
     To demonstrate the tre- 
     
     mendous value of sport 
     
     and recreation as a form of 
     
     rehabilitation.
