Terry Fox is a young Canadian who discovered he had cancer at a young age. At 18 his leg was amputated; his dream was to raise money for cancer research, the goal was $1 for each Canadian; and jog across Canada. He dipped his foot in Newfoundland on April 12th, 1980, and began his way to BC, a job across the second largest country in the world.
It rained, people didn't participate as much....sadly people weren't interested. Then things started to change...Canadians took noticed...soon there were thousands lined up on his route...
He sadly passed away before he could finish his run. His hope and courage has inspired millions to do the same. And every year, there is a marathon fundraising done around the world to honor his dream, and to end cancer.
So....where is the Terry Fox Run done in...other than Canada?
