Rick and Amanda (Part 1)

This week's love story belongs to Rick and Amanda, and features all the kinds of love we celebrate on this podcast. But this episode also happens to feature a Canadian hero and icon. You might know him as the "Man in Motion".

Rick Hansen won the hearts of Canadians over 35 years ago, when he traveled the globe in his wheelchair, raising awareness and money for spinal cord research. On that legendary journey, Rick lost his own heart to his physiotherapist, Amanda, who played a vital role in keeping him going physically, emotionally and psychologically.

They have continued to be an extraordinary team over the years since, and their commitment to the cause has changed the lives of countless Canadians and inspired us all.
