I was very surprised to figure out that Terry Fox got cancer when he was only eighteen. If Terry Fox was still alive I would ask him how he managed to keep going even though he was going through so much pain and I would also ask him how much pain he had to go through and I Would also ask him Did he get along with his family. I wouldn't want to be Terry Fox´s son because I already have a family. I loved the book I read on Terry Fox Because it contained lots of information. I learned that Terry Fox got Cancer when he was 18 and he also made it halfway through his run. Terry was very determined to do whatever he put his mind to and I wish I could be like him. Others may not like to Read this book because it is very long. I chose a person because he did many things and inspired many many people.Terry fox is also a great role model.
