Terry Fox

Terry Fox was a great inspiration
in Canada and for the rest of the world.






Terry was a long distance runner
in Canada who lost his right leg
because of cancer.

In 1980 he started "The Marathon of Hope."
He decided to run across Canada to raise
money for cancer research. His goal was
to run 8,000 kilometres (5,000 mi).

That was a marathon everyday!

He ran with one of the first artificial legs.
He could only move slowly,
but he endured.





After 143 days and 5,373 kilometres (3,339 mi),
he was taken to the hospital.

He died shortly after, but.......

he raised 23 million dollars
for cancer research.
