Terry Fox inspires the nation with his Marathon of Hope, a cross-country run to raise money for cancer research (1980). *Join our mailing list* : https://histori.ca/email SUBSCRIBE to learn more about Canada: https://histori.ca/youtube Version française : https://youtu.be/gR8lvEsRsts After losing his right leg to cancer at age 18, Terrance (Terry) Fox decided to run across Caanda to raise awareness and money for cancer research. With the use of a customized running prosthesis, he set out from St. John’s, Newfoundland, on 12 April 1980 and covered 5,373 km in 143 days — an average of 42 km (26 miles) per day. He was forced to stop his Marathon of Hope in Thunder Bay, Ontario, on 1 September 1980, when cancer had invaded his lungs. He died shortly before his 23rd birthday. The youngest person to be made a Companion of the Order of Canada, he was awarded the 1980 Lou Marsh Trophy (now the Northern Star Award) as Canada’s athlete of the year and was named a Person of National Historic Significance by the Government of Canada. He was also inducted into Canada's Sports Hall of Fame. *Learn more on _The Canadian Encyclopedia_* : Terry Fox: http://www.thecanadianencyclopedia.ca/en/article/terry-fox/ Terry Fox and the Development of Running Prostheses: https://www.thecanadianencyclopedia.ca/en/article/terry-fox-and-the-development-of-running-prostheses Canada's Sports Hall of Fame: https://www.thecanadianencyclopedia.ca/en/article/canadas-sports-hall-of-fame *FOLLOW US!* Instagram: https://instagram.com/historicacanada/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/HistoricaCanada TikTok: https://tiktok.com/@historicacanada Facebook: https://facebook.com/Historica.Canada/ Pinterest: https://pinterest.ca/historicac/_saved/ *More educational content at* : historicacanada.ca thecanadianencyclopedia.ca *Credits* : Terry Fox: Jared Huumonen End Narrator: Lloyd Robertson (https://www.thecanadianencyclopedia.ca/en/article/lloyd-robertson) DOP: Michael Sorel Composer: Russ Broom Editor: Bridget Durnford Production Designer: Les Fraser Director: Grant Harvey Written by Brent Kawchuk and Grant Harvey Producer: Brent Kawchuk and Scott Henuset Produced by Corkscrew Media
