Описание:

If Canada has one gleaming hero, it must be Terry Fox. No other Canadian — man or woman — so captivated a nation. “He sparked an imagination of what is possible,” said Opp. “It’s connected to that sense of conquering geography to conquer a disease.” He ran 5,733 km in 143 days on one leg during his Marathon of Hope before cancer finally claimed him. But his legacy has raised more than $500 million for cancer research and he continues to be a beacon of inspiration for all Canadians.
