Episode 1: Rick Hansen and Paul Clark

In the debut episode of Disability with Possibility, hosts Amanda Lockitch and Michelle Hewitt talk to two men—and friends—who transcended their disabilities through sports and athletic excellence. Rick Hansen is fondly remembered for his Man In Motion Tour, where for two months in 1987, he and his team travelled through 40,000 km and 43 countries ... on a wheelchair.

Paul Clark, on the other hand, is Canada's first wheelchair-using optometrist who was one of Canada's fastest wheelchair racers. Rick and Paul talk about how they turned doubts, hurdles and challenges into a resolve to becoming decorated Paralympians for Canada. This is a chat filled with inspiration and information with a healthy sprinkle of fun and laughter.
