Once there was a young man called Terry Fox in Canada, who was sporty. But unluckily, he had bone cancer in 1977 and one of his legs had to be cut. At that time he was only 18 years old. As he knew he would leave the world soon, he decided to do something useful to help others, especially the people who have cancer. He decided to run across the country with a man-made leg to raise money for cancer research. He began his Marathon of Hope Run on April 12, 1980 in St. John's Newfoundland. He ran forty-two kilometres each day. Soon thousands of people heard about it and started to support him. However, he had to stop after he had completed a total of 5,373 kms after more than 143 days because the cancer from his leg went to his lungs. He passed away in June 1981. But it was a journey that Canadians will never forget. What he did has inspired(鼓舞) millions of people. Every year people hold Terry Fox Run to memorize him and raise money to help the people in need. They chant “Terry Fox! Terry Fox! Terry Fox!…"when they run. People treat him as one of the greatest heroes in Canada.
