Terrance Stanley "Terry" FoxCCOD (July 28, 1958– June 28, 1981) was a Canadian athlete, humanitarian, and cancer research activist. In 1980, with one leg having been amputated, he embarked on a cross-Canada run to raise money and awareness for cancer research. Although the spread of his cancer eventually forced him to end his quest after 143 days and 5,373 kilometres (3,339mi), and ultimately cost him his life, his efforts resulted in a lasting, worldwide legacy. The annual Terry Fox Run, first held in 1981, has grown to involve millions of participants in over 60 countries and is now the world's largest one-day fundraiser for cancer research; over C$650 million has been raised in his name.
A hero. An inspiration. A runner. A dreamer. Canada's Terry Fox was all these and more. His death in 1981 was mourned nationwide, and yet his legacy lives on. His Marathon of Hope inspired millions then, and still does. (Video set to Jadea Kelly's "Beauty.")
