A propos de cet article

Terry Fox was eighteen years old when he was told that he had cancer and that his leg would have to be amputated. He accepted the verdict with courage and grace. "Nobody is ever going to call me a quitter," he said. On April 12, 1980, starting in St. John's, Newfoundland, Terry embarked upon the cross-country run he called the Marathon of Hope. He wanted to raise a million dollars for cancer research. It was an extraordinary undertaking for an unknown young man with an artificial leg.

Leslie Scrivener was a reporter assigned to follow Terry's progress. In writing his story, she drew on his diaries and interviews with Terry, his friends and family.

This is the authentic, inspiring account of the magnificent achievement of a Canadian hero.…
