Terry Fox was a famous Canadian athlete who was born in British Columbia in 1958. When Terry was 19 years old he was diagnosed with cancer in his knee. His right leg was amputated. This was very hard for Terry because he loved to play sports. While in the hospital, he met children who were also sick with cancer, and he decided to help raise money for cancer research. Terry decided to run across Canada with his artificial leg to inspire Canadians to donate money for cancer research. This was very unusual and soon newspapers, magazines, and television and radio stations began to write about Terry and ask him questions about his goal. This led to Terry becoming very famous in Canada, and soon many people were donating money for his run.
Unfortunately, halfway through his “Marathon of Hope”, Terry was diagnosed with cancer in his lungs. He was forced to quit his dream of running across Canada. Soon after this, in 1981, Terry Fox passed away. Canadians were very sad yet inspired to continue to work for cancer charities. To this day, the Terry Fox Run for Cancer Research is undertaken in many countries around the world. His dream inspired many to raise money and become educated about cancer.
Terry Fox is a famous person because he decided to do something no one else had ever done before. People admire this very much and hope to be like him. His picture and statues are all across Canada and the world.
