The Marathon of Hope: Terry Fox’s Run That Moved a Nation 🇨🇦💫

In 1980, a young Canadian named Terry Fox began a journey that would capture the heart of an entire country—and inspire the world. At just 21 years old, and after losing his leg to cancer, Terry set out on an almost impossible mission: to run 5,373 kilometers across Canada in 143 days to raise money and awareness for cancer research. 🏃‍♂️💔

Each morning, he ran with his prosthetic leg, facing rain, wind, exhaustion, and unimaginable pain. Yet he never stopped believing in his cause. His dream was simple yet powerful—to raise one dollar for every Canadian. By February 1981, that dream came true, with 24.17 million Canadian dollars raised, one for every citizen of his country at the time. 🌍❤️

Though Terry’s cancer returned before he could finish his run, his spirit never faded. After his death, the Terry Fox Foundation was established, turning his courage into a lasting legacy. Today, millions of people around the world continue his Marathon of Hope, running in his name to support the fight against cancer. 🌈

Terry Fox proved that true heroes are not those who never fall—but those who rise again, running with purpose, one step at a time, for something greater than themselves. 🌟
