Terry Fox

Terry Fox was born in Winnipeg, Manitoba and grew up in Port Coquitlam, British Columbia near Vancouver on the west coast of Canada. Active young people were engaged in many sports, but when he was diagnosed as osteosarcoma (bone cancer), he was 18 years old and was forced to cut the right leg to 15 cm above the knee in 1977 .

During the hospital, Terry was overcome by the pain of other cancer patients. And many of them were young children, and he decided to go through Canada to capture the funds for cancer research.

After 18 months, Terry, who ran 5,000 kilometers (3,107 miles) or more, began running on Newfoundland's Saint John on April 12, 1980. At first it is difficult to be noticed, but enthusiasm grows soon and the money collected along his route starts to increase. He travels about 42 kilometers (26 miles) a day through Canada, Quebec, and the Atlantic Atlantic Region. However, on 14 September and 5,373 kilometers (3,339 miles) on September 1, Terry was forced out of Ontario's Thunder Bay due to lung cancer. The whole country is shocked and it is sad. Terry passed away at the age of 22 on June 28, 1981

To date, over 750 million dollars are collected worldwide for Trap through Terry Fox Run, which is held annually in Canada and around the world.

The Terry Fox Foundation was established when it was separated from the Canadian Cancer Society in 1988. Since its founding, the Trifolk Foundation gathered over $ 750 million for cancer research. Currently, Terry Fox Runs is held every year, and there are many participants from all over the world. Run is a volunteer-led, all-inclusive, non-competitive event with no corporate sponsorship, remuneration or fund-raising. Terry announced these wishes before his death in 1981. The Trifolk Foundation has surpassed traditional running by hosting various other events. These activities include the National School Run Day, where the school runs Run to collect funds in commemoration of Terry, and The Great Canadian Hair "Do", a fundraising event that can be held all the year round.

Last week, Trimble celebrated its 30th anniversary after winning a Canadian medal. Many cities in Japan also held a Terry Fox commemorative event commemorating the 30th anniversary. Fox is still one of the most popular national heroes in Canada, but the heritage of that person is rarely subject to scrutiny. This is my opinion. I remember when I was in the third grade of elementary school, my elementary school teacher gave lectures on various people who should not be respected as heroism and hero to us. She said firmly that superheroes are totally impossible. To worship a fictitious person who designs incomplete or unsuccessfully is setting odd and unrealistic expectations. By contrast, the reason we respect human beings in the real world is precisely because of their imperfection. They can overcome their own shortcomings by pursuing larger ones and we can do the same.
