18-year-old Canadian Terry Fox was diagnosed with bone cancer in 1977. His right leg was amputated to treat the cancer.
However, this did not stop him from starting his “Marathon of Hope” in 1980. His goal was to run from the east coast to the west coast of Canada to raise awareness and funds for cancer research.
After running an average of one marathon a day for 143 days and a total distance of 5,373 kilometers, Terry had to end his run because the cancer had returned and ultimately ended his life too soon in 1981. His dedication to raising awareness and funds for cancer research, however, continues to this day.
The Terry Fox Run takes place every September in Canada and in over 20 other countries, and will be held in Heidelberg for the first time on September 15, 2024.
