Abstract

The article from Canada's History recounts the inspiring story of Terry Fox, who embarked on a Marathon of Hope in 1980 to raise money for cancer research after losing his leg to bone cancer. Despite having to end his marathon due to cancer spreading to his lungs, Fox raised $2 million and inspired millions. Since his passing in 1981, the Terry Fox Foundation has raised over $850 million and funded numerous cancer research projects, making a significant impact globally. [Extracted from the article]
