Terry Fox History
Terry Fox was a young Canadian affected by cancer. In 1980, he ran across Canada in his “Marathon of Hope” to increase awareness and raise funds for cancer research. After 143 days and 5,373 kilometres (3,339 miles) he was forced to stop as his cancer had spread. Canadians responded overwhelmingly to his quest and contributed over twenty two million dollars to the cause. Since then, every year Canadians and citizens around the world have run in his honour in the Terry Fox Run to continue the battle against cancer.
