 ABOUT THE FILM

Recently, Richard partnered with the nonprofit Undue Medical Debt for his 34th Tenderness Tour, wheeling over 150 miles on Indiana’s scenic trails and communities to raise money to alleviate medical debt.

 

When he launched The Tenderness Tour, Richard wheeled to find out if there truly were good people in the world, trying to heal his own childhood trauma. As he wheeled and healed, he discovered he was a powerful activist making a lasting impact in the lives of many.
