Terry Fox

Terry Fox was born in Winnipeg, Manitoba. Terry Fox was only 18 years old when he got bone cancer and got his right leg cut off. When Terry was in the hospital he decided to run across Canada and raise money for cancer research.

I think Terry Fox is a really good hero to pick because he has inspired people to help fight cancer. So I think what he did was heroic. Terry Fox was a very good hero and he cared about people.

Terry Fox is my hero. He is my hero because he ran across Canada to help raise money for cancer research. Terry knew that he had to keep running. He never stopped. He knew what he had to do. He taught me to keep on trying. That is why Terry Fox is my hero.
