Terry Fox

Terry Fox started running on the morning of April 12 in Newfoundland and finished in Ontario in Thunder Bay. On the morning of April 12, 1980 Terry brought 2 jugs to the Atlantic shore to fill will sea water. One jug he planned to pour into the Pacific Ocean at the end of the marathon. The other he would keep as a souvenier but the waves washed away one jug. The one jug that he did fill sits in his parent's home today. "If you have given a dollar you are part of the Marathon of Hope," he said. Terry raised millions of dollars for children's hospitals and other hospitals.
