If you don’t know the story of Terry Fox, you should.

The night before his leg was amputated, Terry Fox read about an amputee who ran the New York City Marathon. The article inspired Terry’s Marathon of Hope, an incredible cross-Canada run on an artificial leg to raise money for cancer research.

Terry’s story inspired the annual Terry Fox Run, a world-wide charity run designed to raise money for cancer research. It’s a fitting tribute.
