Terry Fox

I made it with Inspiration (I did it)

I chose Terry Fox because I think what he did was brave and kind. He gave away his old life to help others who were suffering from cancer. He trained so hard, worked so much and accomplished one of the best jobs ever. And now we run for Terry once a year so we can help him to go with his goal. And he wasn't in it for the fame or the glory, he just wanted to help others who needed it most. Even though I'm American, I think he did better than most of the American heroes I know. That is why I think he is an amazing hero.

Terry Fox Portrait ( I drew it)

Terry grew up as an athletic kid who loved many sports. He liked some of the same stuff we like. He had two brothers: Fred, and Darrell. And a little sister: Judith. His parents' names were Betty Fox (mom), and Rolland Fox (dad). Terry woke up one morning with his knee hurting. He decided to go to his doctor. The doctor said he had a tumor in his knee. It's a tumor that targeted young athletic boys. He decided to start running when he saw other children suffering. Although he left his parents behind, he knew that they supported him and wanted him to go on.

Terry Fox Running (I made it (I did))

Terry Fox accomplished a lot, because he got all of Canada to help him. He's gotten the world one step closer to curing cancer. He also has the reward: The Order Of Canada. You get it when you are noble, kind, and do an outstanding deed. He helped many people with their troubles. I think Terry Fox deserved more than reward. I think he would be happy to see what he accomplished, because all of the kids running for him once a year would make him happy. He deserves a lot of credit for helping cure cancer too. He was brave and kind too. I think he had a big heart, persistence, and someone who would keep going on no matter what. I watched a video that said he was honest and very funny. He inspired me to do things I'd never do.

As you can see so far Terry is a nice, brave man. He helped many people and I hope I got my message across to everyone. I also hope you start liking Terry as much as I do. I also hope you learned many stuff from this report. Thanks for taking the time to read this report.
