Terry Fox - The Marathon Of Hope (Real Inspiration)
I recently read about Terry Fox and I had goosebumps all over. It is said that hard work will one day change our signatures to autographs. As rightly said Terry's determination and perseverance has paid him for his wishes.

people in Canada donate $24.17 million.
Terry plans a cross-Canada run in order to raise money for cancer research and awareness. Terry toils in training himself and covers about 3,107miles during his training periods.
Those are the words of Terrey to the Canadian Cancer Society.

By then Terrey runs for 3,339 miles and stops outside of Thunder Bay, Ontario. And Terry's cancer shoots his lungs and he quotes,” I’m gonna do my very best. I’ll fight. I promise I won’t give up.” Hearing about Terry Fox, Isadore Sharp, the Chairman and CEO of Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts organizes a fundraising run and also the CTV network organizes a telethon and raises $10million.
One month short to Terrys 23rd birthday, he bids a goodbye to all of us to rest in peace on 28 June 1981. Currently, the Terry Fox Foundation has collected over $715 million. And they support cancer research in the name of Terry.
