Such an experience would have destroyed a weaker person—but Terry Fox was a fighter. He refused to give up. Instead, while he was recovering from the operation, an idea slowly formed in his mind. He decided he would run across Canada—in order to raise money for cancer research.

Sixteen months later, in the spring of 1980, he was ready for the long journey across Canada—his Marathon of Hope. it was a time of inspiration and heartbreaking emotion. Through television, every home saw his distinctive style of running—a kind of half-hop and half-run. Thousands of people lined the route to encourage him and to wish him well. They also gave money to fight cancer. Then, on September 1st, 1980, after 143 days and more than 5000 kilometers completed, everything came tragically to an end. Terry had to stop.
