Read Terry Fox’s remarkable story, just in time to mark the 40th anniversary of the Marathon of Hope!
Growing up, Terry Fox loved sports. Whether it was basketball, volleyball or track and field, he gave it his all. It was a terrible day when, at only 18, he was diagnosed with bone cancer. His right leg was amputated above the knee.
But Terry never gave up. He decided to run across Canada to raise awareness and money for cancer research. Terry trained hard and on April 12, 1980, he began the Marathon of Hope.
Then, 5373 kilometres into his run, Terry was forced to stop — but his incredible legacy was just beginning.
