Terry Fox’s brother Fred Fox on the legacy of the Marathon of Hope

Yesterday marked the 42nd edition of the Terry Fox Run. In 1980, just 2 years after losing his leg to cancer, 21-year old Terry Fox set out on his Marathon of Hope to raise awareness and funds for cancer research. It has been over 4 decades since that heroic attempt, but Terry’s dream of eradicating cancer lives on.
