"Hansen said the next stop on the anniversary tour will mark a nostalgic moment for him as he retraces a route he followed nearly 25 years ago to the day. On Wednesday, Hanson will wheel across the Allenby Bridge connecting Jordan to the Israeli capital of Jerusalem. Once there, Hanson will visit a memorial to fellow Canadian disabled rights advocate Terry Fox and launch a research collaboration with an Israeli university."
