jun 28, 1981 - The Death of Terry Fox

Description:

On June 28, 1981, one of of the most heroic Canadians was gone, but is legacy was just beginning. To date, over $750 million has been raised worldwide for cancer research through the Terry Fox Run, an annual run thousands of Canadians participate in each year all across Canada. Terry Fox is a true Canadian hero whose sole purpose was to raise money to find a cure for cancer, the same thing that ended up killing him on this very day.
