Terry Fox Run 2022

So who is Terry Fox?   

Terry was a young Canadian who, at 18 years old, lost his right leg to bone cancer.  Instead of getting depressed or angry, Terry decided he wanted to make a difference.  He challenged himself to run across Canada and raise 1,000,000 dollars.  After training on his new prosthetic leg for over a year, Terry started his run on the east coast of Canada on April 12, 1980; he called it the Marathon of Hope.  He ran almost a marathon a day (that’s 42 km) for 143 days before the cancer spread to his lungs.  He didn’t make it all the way across Canada – he ran 5,373km of the 6,800km – but he did raise the million dollars.  Every year, schools in Canada and around the world host a Terry Fox Run to keep his dream alive.  

特里福克斯是谁？ 

特里是一位年轻的加拿大人，在18岁的时候，因患有骨癌失去了他的右腿。特里并没有陷入抑郁或愤怒，而是决定要有所作为。他挑战自己横穿加拿大，筹款1,000,000元。他用他的新义肢训练了一年多，在1980年4月12日，他在加拿大东岸开跑，他把此次活动命名为“希望马拉松”.  在癌症扩散到他的肺部之前，他每天跑马拉松42公里，跑了143天，他没有全部跑完加拿大—6800公里的路，他跑了5373公里。但他筹到了一百万元。每年，加拿大的学校和全球的学校都会举行特里福克斯义跑，延续他的梦想。
