Inspiring
On April 12, 1980, Terry started his Marathon of Hope.
When he stopped running, everyone started writing.
This year, we continue the annual Terry Fox School Run surrounded by
messages of love, hope, and inspiration from Canadians everywhere.
I wanted to set an example that would never be forgotten.
Terry Fox represented the best that Canadians have to offer. He was an example of courage, humility, determination, and perseverance. From a young age he exemplified these attributes that made him an inspiration for not only Canada, but the entire world.
You’ve probably been involved in the School Run or Terry Fox Run for a couple of years now, or maybe you are new to the experience. Whatever your level of previous involvement, the time is now to show your spirit and join the movement. Our next generation of students will be the ones to continue Terry’s fight and lead this worthy cause towards his dream of a world without cancer.
