Terry Fox

This guy is a hero above all others, he tried to run across Canada to raise money for cancer research, he is an inspiration to everyone. He ran the equivalent of a marathon every single day, because he is such an inspiration while i was donating money to his foundation i came upon some of his quotes, im putting them up here, because i'm positive that everyone on NS has been affected by cancer in some way. Here are the quotes:



“I don’t feel that this is unfair. That’s the thing about cancer. I’m not the only one, it happens all the time to people. I’m not special. This just intensifies what I did. It gives it more meaning. It’ll inspire more people. I just wish people would realize that anything’s possible if you try; dreams are made possible if you try.

"When I started this run, I said that if we all gave one dollar, we’d have $22 million for cancer research, and I don’t care man, there’s no reason that isn’t possible. No reason!�

“I’m not doing the run to become rich or famous.�

“Some people can’t figure out what I’m doing. It’s not a walk-hop, it’s not a trot, it’s running, or as close as I can get to running, and it’s harder than doing it on two legs. It makes me mad when people call this a walk. If I was walking it wouldn’t be anything.�

“When I ran through that tiny little Sparks Street Mall, the road was so narrow, yet people were running behind me and all these other people were lined up, clapping for me. It was quite a long way down the road where all the people were and I was just sprinting. I was floating through the air and I didn’t even feel a thing. I felt so great. That type of memory you can never take away.�

“If you’ve given a dollar, you are part of the Marathon of Hope .�

“I’m running on one leg. It may not look like I’m running fast, but I’m going as hard as I can. It bothers me, people coming up beside me. I want to make those guys work. I can’t stand making it easy for them. I’m really competitive. When they run with me, they’re usually running for only two or three miles; for me it might be my twenty-sixth mile.�

“Maybe that’s why I’ve made it as far as I have – 2,521 miles. If I ran to a doctor every time I got a little cyst or abrasion I’d still be in Nova Scotia. Or else I’d never have started. I’ve seen people in so much pain. The little bit of pain I’m going through is nothing. They can’t shut it off, and I can’t shut down every time I feel a little sore.�

“It’s one thing to run across Canada, but now, people are really going to know what cancer is.�

“People were still lining the road saying, ‘Keep going, don’t give up, you can do it, you can make it, we’re all behind you.’ There was a camera crew waiting to film me. I don’t think they even realized that they had filmed my last mile… people were still saying, ‘You can make it all the way Terry’. I started to think about those comments in that mile too. Yeah, I thought, this might be my last one.�

“I'm not a dreamer, and I'm not saying this will initiate any kind of definitive answer or cure to cancer, but I believe in miracles. I have to.�

in case it wasn't clear, he was running a marathon every day on one real leg and one prosthetic leg, circa 1980. it's just so insane to think about...he truly is a hero.

^thats on the same level as the "how many jews can you fit in a volkswagon". not cool man.

my friend got told he looks like terry fox yesterday at church. ...during the service, apparently the reverend was walking down the ailse or whatever, something catholic, and he stopped, pointed at my friend and said" YOU....you look like terry fox. ...........i think its the hair..." and then he just kept walking

well terry fox is a hero, if it wasn't for him raising money for cancer research, my mom wouldn't be here today, she always donates soooo much money to this because it helps out with her cancer too, so i'm very grateful for anyone who donates cause it's 1 step further to help cure my mom too. So thanks everyone who donated anything.

^yeah it's a truly good cause, and i wish the best of luck to your mom, must be hard. Terry Fox is the man

he ran 3339 fucking kilometres on one leg. his goal was to raise 1 dollar per every canadian and, to date, we're up to 200 million dollars raised for cancer because of this guy. he ran a marathon a day, every single day, with only 1 day off. how many of us are ever going to accomplish anything even close to that. 200 million dollars to date....... that's unbelievable. this guy is a true hero. i've been watching 'the terry fox legacy' on tv lately, and it's just an incredible story.

stick that in your pipe and smoke it!
