About the Terry Fox Foundation
(http://www.terryfox.org/) Terry Fox was a 21-year old Canadian whose leg was amputated after he developed osteosarcoma in the knee. He decided to run across Canada in 1980 to raise money for cancer research. He began in St. John's Newfoundland and ran a marathon a day for 143 consecutive days on one leg and a prosthesis, asking people to donate just a dollar each. As he crossed the country and we watched him double step and hop westward his celebrity grew. He ran 5400 km, but when in September he reached Thunder Bay on the north shore of Lake Superior the cancer returned, with tumours in both lungs. He was taken to hospital and had to stop. He died the following year. He raised $24 million.
Every September since, for the last 35 years, there is a Terry Fox run to raise money for cancer research. Last year 3 million people ran all around the world, with pledges. To date these fundraising runs have raised over $700 million for cancer research. Funds raised in countries other than Canada (60 countries to date) are kept in the country of origin.
You can watch videos of Terry Fox running here: www.youtube.com/user/terryfoxcanada. I could not run even a single marathon on two legs. Imagine running one day after day for nearly 5 months, on one leg.
