It takes a lot of courage to deal with the fact, that you have cancer. It takes even more courage to deal with losing a leg because of that cancer. However, it takes a true hero to then attempt to run across the second largest country in the world with an artificial leg in order to raise money for cancer. A man named Terry Fox was just such a hero.
Terry was only eighteen years old when doctors Sold, him and his family that he had a type of bone cancer in his knee. The doctors said that they had to cut off Terry’ s leg. Terry showed a great deal of courage when he lost his leg. He quickly learned to use his artificial leg, and he did not feel sorry for himself. He was thankful that he was still alive.
After his experiences with other cancer patients in hospital, Terry wanted to do something. Not a lot of people knew much about cancer at the beginning of the 1980s, and not a lot of money was going towards finding a cure or developing better treatments. Terry decided that he was going to raise one dollar for every person in Canada. The population of Canada at the time was 24 million, so he planned to raise 24 million dollars for cancer research, and he planed to do this by running across the county.
On a beach in Newfoundland, Terry Fox began his Marathon of Hope by dipping his artificial leg into the Atlantic Ocean on April 12, 1980. He ran about 42 kilometers a day, and he gave speeches along the way. People were learning about cancer, and they were giving money to Terry and his dream. Terry kept running. He ran through Quebec to Ontario. By August, he was halfway across Canada.
In the middle of the Marathon of Hope, however, Terry’s chest started to hurt. He stopped running and saw a doctor. Unfortunately, the cancer had returned and was now in his lungs. He had to give up the Marathon of Hope and go back into hospital. Sadly, Terry box passed away in 1981 without finishing his run, but not before 24 million dollars had been raised for cancer research. Money has continued to be raised in his name since that time. More than 360 million dollars has been raised worldwide in yearly Terry Fox Runs. [br] What was the most amazing thing about Terry’s Marathon of Hope?
