I imagine many of you outside of Canada don’t know who Terry Fox was.
He was a young man with cancer, an amputee, who tried to run across Canada in 1980 to raise money for cancer research. I remember this well because it was a big deal at the time. I was 15 when he did his run.
It’s hard to believe he’s been gone 40 years. He is a true hero who has stayed in people’s memories all these years later.
