The Rick Hansen Relay is cutting through Saint John and the surrounding areas over the next few days and local disability advocate Jeff Sparks says they are sending a fantastic message.
Sparks tells CHSJ News the relay gets out a very important concept -- disabled people still partake in physical activity because it's important to them both physically and spiritually.
He says it will also educate the public that those who are a disabled still love to pursue active living and with a few minor accommodations, they can participate in many activities.
