Terry Fox lost his leg to cancer at age 18 and resolved to raise money and awareness for cancer research by running across Canada. In 1980, he set off running a marathon per day but had to stop after 143 days due to cancer spreading. Since then, over $700 million has been raised worldwide in his name for cancer research through events like annual Terry Fox Runs. The 2015 Terry Fox Run commemorates the 35th anniversary of his Marathon of Hope.

1. In 1977, 18-year-old Terry Fox lost his right leg
to bone cancer. Deeply affected by the suffering
of other cancer patients, Terry resolved to act
upon his dream to find a cure for all cancers by
raising awareness and money. In the summer of
1980 Terry set off from St. John’s, Newfoundland
running close to a marathon a day for 143 days
before cancer forced him to stop in Thunder
Bay.
In the 35 years since Terry undertook his
courageous journey, the commitment of
thousands of people around the globe has
kept his dream alive. Through worldwide
participation, close to $700 million has been
raised for cancer research in Terry’s name.
2015 marks a special milestone as the Marathon
of Hope commemorates its 35th anniversary.
