"Today is the day it all begins..."

Terry travelled to Outer Cove Beach, collecting two bottles of Atlantic seawater. He planned to keep one as a souvenir and pour the second one in the Pacific Ocean when he arrived home, but the blustery ocean carried one bottle out to sea.

Join us for the annual on September 20 and help finish Terry's marathon against cancer. Register and kickstart your fundraising today: terryfox.org

- March 9, 1977

At 18 years old, Terry underwent surgery to amputate his right leg, six inches above the knee, after being diagnosed with osteogenic sarcoma.

The night before, his high school basketball coach, Terri Fleming, visited him and shared an article about Dick Traum — an amputee runner who had completed the New York City Marathon.

707 days later, Terry began training for what became the — a journey that united millions and transformed cancer research in Canada.

Terry started a marathon against cancer.
Together, we can . ❤️🇨🇦
