I clearly remember the first time I saw the images of a solitary Terry Fox on the news as a young Canadian; I was immediately in awe of his dedication and determination that he exhibited in his 1980 attempt to cross Canada. His message and life were celebrated today with the announcement of a new one dollar coin that will go into circulation on April 4, 2005. The spirit of Terry Fox lives on as each year more than 60 countries around the world hold Terry Fox Runs to raise funds for local cancer treatment. This young man born in Winnipeg, Manitoba, and raised in Port Coquitlam, British Columbia, truly signifies how one person can make a significant global impact.
I encourage you to visit the Terry Fox website at http://www.terryfoxrun.org/ and be inspired by his story.
