Terry Fox died 35 years ago today...

[SidDithers]

He ran halfway across Canada to raise money for Cancer research.

He ran a marathon a day, every day, for 143 straight days.

With cancer.

On one leg.





Here's to you, Terry Fox.

4. What a real hero looks like.

An honorable man. We've made a lot of progress, thanks to his sacrifice.

5. I actually work on Terry Fox Drive

But I can still go quite a while without actually thinking about it.

Thanks for the reminder.

6. I remember him well...

He was an inspiration to me.

I was a runner on my HS cross country team a the time, and Mr. Fox was a hero to us all on the team.

8. I walk by his statue sometimes and think of him. He inspired

so many others. And raised so much money for cancer research year after year after he died.
