Relay Medal

<  The Official 25th Anniversary Rick Hansen Relay Medal minted by the Royal Canadian Mint.  The Medal is made of pure silver and is very heavy.  The background of the Medal is a laser imprint of the glove Rick Hansen wore on the day he completed the original Man in Motion tour.  That glove has travelled to the International Space Station.

The roads were terrible to get to Fort Macleod but the sky cleared and it was a great day!
