This button was produced by McDonald’s in support Rick Hansen’s Man In Motion world tour in which he circled the globe in his wheelchair.

Hansen set off from Vancouver on March 20th, 1985 and travelled over 40,000 km through 34 countries before arriving back in the city on May 22nd, 1987. He raised more than $26 million for spinal cord research on the tour and has raised more than $200 million to date through the Rick Hansen foundation.
