Terry Fox inspired millions of people with his Marathon of Hope, his determination, and his dream of raising awareness and money for cancer research.
The young man from British Columbia began his incredible journey in St. John’s, Newfoundland, with the goal of running all the way across Canada to Victoria, British Columbia.
But cancer forced Terry to stop near Thunder Bay, Ontario, before he could reach his destination.
He never made it to Victoria.
But his dream did.
