Every country has its heroes. They may be soldiers or sports people, doctors or film stars. We admire them for their courage, their strength, their devotion to duty or their talent. Their example inspires us to live better, to work harder.
Terry Fox was a young student who loved life and who loved sports. When he was just 18 years old a terrible tragedy occurred: his right leg had to be cut off because of cancer. 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.
Slowly and carefully, he began to train. Every step was extremely painful, but he insisted, increasing the distance covered day by day. 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 5 , 000 kilometers completed, everything came tragically to an end. Terry had to stop. He lived on for another nine months and died on June 28th, 1981. He was almost 23.
