After losing his right leg at age 20 to cancer, Terry Fox decided to run across Canada to raise money for cancer research. He started in St. John's, Newfoundland and planned on running all the way to Vancouver, British Columbia. He ran 42 km a day. No one had ever done anything like it before.
His cancer returned and he was not able to finish his run. Every September a charity run is held in honour of Terry Fox.
Here I am at the foot of the Terry Fox statue.
