A real hero
I meant to mention the new Terry Fox coin back when it came out. Of course, they played the very sad footage of Terry ending his run when they reported on the new coin..
Canadians everywhere are stunned and heartbroken: Terry Fox’s cancer has returned and his Marathon of Hope must end near Thunder Bay, Ont. Terry has run 5,373 kilometres after 143 days on the road.
On the verge of tears, Terry Fox lies on a stretcher and tells reporters he has cancer in his lungs and must go home for more treatment.
It also got me thinking that Canada doesn’t have many heros anymore, and Terry’s heroics, as simple as they were, seem to have stood the test of time.
