Who circled the globe in a wheelchair to raise funds for spinal cord research?

  1. Terry Fox

  2. Rick Hansen

  3. Chantal Petitclerc

  4. Donovan Bailey

The correct answer is: Rick Hansen

Rick Hansen, not Terry Fox, circled the globe in a wheelchair to raise funds for spinal cord research. Terry Fox is well-known for his Marathon of Hope across Canada, while Rick Hansen embarked on the Man in Motion World Tour in 1985. Chantal Petitclerc is a Canadian Paralympic wheelchair racer, while Donovan Bailey is an Olympic sprinter and not known for his philanthropy work. Thus, option B is the correct answer.
