43 years ago, Canadian hero Terry Fox began his cross-country Marathon of Hope
Runner Terry Fox continues his Marathon of Hope run across Canada, Sept. 1980.
Terry Fox, the one-legged runner from Port Coquitlam, B.C. whose cross-country marathon to raise funds for cancer research gained him the respect of Canadians, watches the nationally televised telethon in his honor from his hospital bed on September 7, 1980. Terry was forced to cut his marathon short last week after cancer was found in his lungs.
