For this episode, we're going back to September 1980.

On September 1st, 1980, 22-year-old Terry Fox ended his Marathon of Hope.

In 1977, Fox has his right leg amputated after being diagnosed with cancer.

Even though Fox only had one leg, he planned to run from the East Coast of Canada to the West Coast

to raise money for cancer research. It was a distance of over 5,000 miles.

His initial goal was to raise a million dollars. He later changed his goal to 24 million or $1 from every Canadian.

Unfortunately, Fox had to stop running outside of Thunder Bay, Ontario, 143 days after he started,

because cancer had spread to his lungs. Fox's run inspired the citizens of Canada. By the time he

ended his Marathon of Hope, he had raised $1.7 million. The week after he stopped

running, a telethon was held on a national television network and an additional $10 million was raised.

By April of 1981, $23 million have been raised. Tragedically, 22-year-old Terry Foxx died nine months

after he ended his run on June 23, 1981.

The first annual Terry Fox run was held on September 13, 1981.

It has since expanded to 60 different countries.
