Terry Fox

Terry was a young man from BC I think who in his late teens or early 20's

had a leg removed because if cancer. he started a campaign to run across

Canada to raise money for cancer. he almost made it , running on a peg

leg and a good one. It was so sad and he was devastated when he realized he

could not finish as his cancer had won the battle. He died I think when he

was 21. Now every year there is a Terry Fox run and communities all across

Canada get out and run raising money from sponsors to help with cancer

research. At school we run around the playing field and the kids get

sponsors. His family visits the schools right across Canada and they watch

the campaign making sure that 90 % goes to cancer research. Last spring his

mom , dad and brother came to our school. For those of us who remember Terry

we can not watch a film on him or see his parents without tearing up.
