It quickly became his mission to help cure cancer so others would not have to endure what he had gone through. He dreamed up a Marathon of Hope — a fundraising run across Canada, from St. John’s, Newfoundland, to Victoria, British Columbia. 5,300 miles.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\t\t\u003cp\u003eWhen he set off on April 12, 1980, Canadians were dubious. But as he continued across the country, enthusiasm grew to a frenzy. Sadly, Terry’s cancer returned, and after 143 days and 3,339 miles, he was forced to stop his Marathon of Hope. He passed away in 1981, but the nation picked up his mission where he left off, and the annual Terry Fox Run has even spread to cities around the world, raising more than $850 million to date — well over Terry’s goal of one dollar for every Canadian.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\t\t\u003cp\u003eAfter conducting over fifty interviews with people throughout Terry’s life — ranging from his siblings, nurses, and coaches to volunteers during the Marathon of Hope — editor Barbara Adhiya discovers \u003ci\u003ehow\u003c\/i\u003e Terry was able to run a marathon a day. Through their stories, passages from Terry’s marathon journal, and over 200 photos and documents, \u003ci\u003eHope by Terry Fox\u003c\/i\u003e shows that with enough resilience, determination, humility, and support, ordinary people can do impossible things.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"None","offers":[{"title":"Couverture souple","offer_id":46156747473073,"sku":"9781770416819","price":30.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Couverture rigide","offer_id":46156747505841,"sku":"9781770418011","price":43.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Livre numérique Kobo","offer_id":46156747538609,"sku":"454d9f06-d8f8-309a-bf2d-abff899e4003","price":16.79,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0655\/8980\/5233\/files\/1_355e4f15-a6e7-4cf3-b9eb-ffc2f6b3b728.jpg?v=1763716734","url":"https:\/\/www.indigo.ca\/fr\/products\/hope-by-terry-fox","provider":"Indigo","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
