The Terry Fox Run is more than a school event, it’s a national tradition and a powerful tribute to one of Canada’s greatest heroes. In 1980, at just 22 years old, Terry Fox began his Marathon of Hope, running across Canada to raise money for cancer research, on one leg, after losing the other to cancer. Though he was forced to stop his journey after 143 days and 5,373 kilometers, Terry’s legacy continues to inspire millions.
