Show Notes

Terry Fox (1958-1981) was a young humanitarian who lost his leg due to bone cancer, but still managed to run across Canada, from the Atlantic to the Pacific, with a prosthetic leg. His goal was to raise money for cancer research and to show that there are no limits, even for people with disabilities. He became a great inspiration and a hero for people all around the world.
