I was only 10 years old when <a href="http://archives.cbc.ca/IDC-1-74-71-174/people/terry_fox/clip3"> Terry dipped his artificial leg in the Atlantic ocean</a> and began his run across Canada with the aim of raising just $1 for each Canadian. Sadly, <a href="http://archives.cbc.ca/IDC-1-74-71-183/people/terry_fox/clip5">he had to end his run </a>after only the halfway point when the Cancer spread to his lungs. <a href="http://archives.cbc.ca/IDC-1-74-71-196/people/terry_fox/clip8">Terry passed away</a> less than a year later. Terry Fox runs worldwide have raised exponential amounts more than Terry could have ever imagined. He makes me proud to be Canadian, and I still get choked up thinking about him. tag:metafilter.com,2005:site.45191 Sat, 17 Sep 2005 15:49:37 -0800 anniversary cancer cbc terryfox SSinVan http://www.metafilter.com/35668/Canadas%2DTrue%2DHero <a href="http://www.macleans.ca/topstories/canada/article.jsp?content=20040701_83581_83581">Canada's True Hero</a> The author <a href="http://www.coupland.com/index.html">Douglas Coupland</a> has a book coming out in 2005 about fellow Canadian Terry Fox.
