It’s a once in a lifetime experience for 29 local residents who will serve as medal bearers to

commemorate the 25th Anniversary of the Rick Hansen Man in Motion World Tour when the

anniversary relay reaches Salmon Arm April 4.

Although a few remaining spots have yet to be filled, the list of difference makers who will

represent the community April 4 and 7 include: Hannah Baskill, Nora Kennett, Brian Ennis,

Nicole Nadin, Patti Brock, Barry Dearing, Petronella Peach, Kate Hiscock, Silken Kleer, Teresa

Mckerral, Amanda Jones, Cathy Evans, Donna Flatman, Linda Hlina, Chali Pattison, Wende

Winn, Debi Podruzny, Anne Ram, Abby Vandermeulen, Tyler Stefanyk, Amy Witt, Marleen

Maas, Malaya Wolff, Bert Revel, Debra McDonald, Marci Hyatt, Melanie Kohinsky, Dawn

Hughes and Dee Lewis.

Wearing the Rick Hansen medal, each participant will walk, run or wheel about 250 metres

before passing it on to the next medal bearer, and when this medal reaches its final destination

in Vancouver this May, it will have passed through 600 communities, and have travelled across

12,000 kilometres. In 1987 Hansen travelled 40,000 kilometres around the world to raise

money and awareness of spinal cord injury.
