#OnThisDay - June 28, 1981
The day family, friends, and all of Canada lost Terry Fox. After running an incredible 5,373 km across the country on his Marathon of Hope, Terry lost his life to cancer.
"I've said to people before that I'm going to do my very best to make it, I'm not going to give up. But I might not make it...if I don't, the Marathon of Hope better continue."

I was in the second grade when I watched the television news coverage of Terry Fox’s Marathon of Hope. Our class, school, and in fact the entire nation was inspired by the courage and conviction of this fine young man in his attempt to draw attention to the importance of finding a cure for cancer. He pushed himself to run an average of 42 km’s (26 mi) per day every day for 143 days. I’m honoured to help keep his legacy of hope, determination and courage to inspire Canadians to continue on this fight against cancer #nomatterwhat
