Product Description

In 1980, Terry Fox set out to run across Canada to raise money for cancer research — despite having lost one leg to the disease. His goal was to raise $1 from every Canadian to help find a cure, and some combination of passion, idealism, and sheer guts led to the impossible notion that he would do this on one good leg and a prosthesis. Beginning in Newfoundland on April 12, 1980, he ran 26 miles each day for 143 consecutive days. But on September 1, the return of his cancer forced him to stop in Thunder Bay, Ontario. He died ten months later, but by then his dream had been realized: over $24 million had been collected in his name. Created to help celebrate the 25th anniversary of his journey, this biography combines over 80 new photographs from a previously unknown family collection with a very personal episodic narrative. The result brings a magic moment in Canadian history, and the young man who inspired it, freshly alive.

All royalties from the book will be donated to the Terry Fox Foundation to support cancer research.

5.0 out of 5 stars A great, interesting read, that is poignant too..., March 8, 2006
By B. Ball (Seattle, WA, USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I was initially given this book as a gift, knew nothing about it, but loved it. It's a great, well put together coffee table book, about an inspiring Canadian role model. As a Canadian export living in the States, it made me nostalgic for Terry Fox Runs from the past :). Highly recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars Terry's life in pictures, January 5, 2009
This wonderful book is a must-have, I'm so glad I bought it. The pictures go through every aspect of Terry's life, from when he was a kid in school playing in sports teams, up until his funeral, which was very sad. My favorite parts of the book are the pages from his training and marathon diaries. I find myself constantly looking through this book. There's something about this book that draws me in.

4.0 out of 5 stars An Intimate Illustration of Terry Fox, December 8, 2008
This book gives a close look at Terry Fox, his life, and his humanity. It shows his accomplishments as a wheelchair basketball athlete and gives a peek at two pages of his diary. It shows what it was like to be with Terry during his Marathon of Hope, right down to the sunburn on the left side of his freckled face. It is a treasure of intimacy, the best thing next to have known Terry in this life. I was very pleased with this look at life with the Foxes and how really down-to-earth they are.
