I went to a school named after him, his parents were there when they opened the school and cut the ribbon
Comment from : Boardgame Planet

I'm old enough to remember this and it still gets me teary eyed every time Terry Fox is the definition of Canadian
Comment from : Prairie Dog

There was an exhibit about him in the Ottawa Museum about 5 years ago where they displayed his journal entries and in them, it said that the prosthetic he was wearing at the time caused him pain beach/b bstep/b bof/b bthe/b *way* He deserves every praise, honour, AND MORE!

Comment from : PrivID

He happened to run by my school and they let all of us go out to cheer him on, it was memorable

Comment from : Dave Casey

I used to live in a small town near the place where Terry was forced to abandon his Marathon of Hope This part of the Trans-Canada, where it loops over the north shore of Lake Superior, passes through some of these longest and steepest hills east of the RockiesbrbrThese hills are long enough and steep enough to challenge a transport truck I’ve lost count of the number of times I was stuck behind a truck on that highway which was barely going 30 klicks (a bit less than 20 mph to an American) by the time it reached the topbrbrMore than once I was stuck behind a truck that was literally moving at a walking pace (as in, I could have passed it easily by getting out of the car and walking past the truck) by the time it reached the top of a particularly dicey hillbrbrIt takes eight to nine hours to drive this section of highway under normal driving conditions Terry was well past the midpoint when he was forced to stopbrbrThis young man ran a marathon a day, every day, with a prosthetic leg that was not fit for purpose, along that highway … with tumours in his lungsbrbrHe’s my hero for a reason
Comment from : Patricia Ireland

Thank you for showing this document Every time I watch it I cry because I am so proud of him & all those who have been inspired by him💕🥰🇨🇦 There are so many people who are touched by cancer not just those who have to deal & fight it but those who are close to them The fight still goes on
Comment from : Twyla Chumway

I was 7 turning 8 when Terry Fox died, I very clearly remember seeing him on the news daily and I also remember taking part in the first annual Terry Fox run that my school took part in Now, I'm 50 and my children have done those same runs Actually, my youngest who is 11 will be taking part in this year's Terry Fox run in just a couple weeks Thank you for doing this video and bringing awareness to your fellow Americans about one iconic Canadian hero

Comment from : Steve Boudreau

Terry Fox WAS a SUPER MAN He taught me about perseverance in the face of extreme challenge! He was & still is a HERO to me! Proud to be a Canadian with examples like Terry Fox!
Comment from : Tracy Rivers

Terry Fox was so moved by seeing the children with cancer during his treatment, he knew we had to do so much more cancer research That’s what inspired his run/fundraiser
Comment from : TheAmtwhite

Muhammed Ali was asked if it was possible to be a 3-time Champion Ali replied, "There's a guy running across Canada on one leg, anything's possible!"

Comment from : Gregory Johnston

Terry Fox Run was a fundraiser at my Elementary school, I remember doing it every year It was actually run by our school caretaker he had watched Terry Fox in 1981 crossing one of the main bridges into the city He had participated in every run since 1981 and in 2000 he started the run fundraiser at our schoolbrbrSo I had been there for the 2nd run till the 6th annual run, from 2002-2006brAnd in 13 years we had raised over a quarter million from the 500 kids at our school So roughly $20,000 a year brbrAnd I had seen our caretaker on the news during Covid, he's retired but still heading the Run every year

Comment from : ryn castle

Two of the greatest Canadians who ever lived are Terry Fox and Tommy Douglas, who we have to thank for universal healthcare Google “The Greatest Canadian” Tommy came in first but I think it should have been Terry He could have stayed home and rested and probably would have had more time on earth but instead he ran that gruelling painful marathon every day He gave up his life for us Thank You Tyler, I wasn’t expecting to cry all the way through this (I usually laugh through your videos) but it brought back all the memories of how amazing he was ❤️
Comment from : M Duncan

I was 26 when Terry was running his Marathon of Hope Not only did Terry create a groundswell for cancer research but he really did change the discourse about cancer Before Terry, people would whisper about someone having cancer, almost like it was shameful He made it acceptable to talk about cancer openlybrbrAll Canadians cried when Terry died I still get choked up every time at the point in this video when they say he died
Comment from : Helen Lee Yogini

Tyler start a Terry Fox run
Comment from : Christine Smith

Boys, that brought back some memories! Thank you for this video!!!!

Comment from : Sharon Tallon

Terry Fox was a great inspiration He influenced Canadians of all ages I was I grade 6 when Terry Fox started his run across CanadabrWhen his life came to an end, the school wanted to honour himbrThere was a mile coarse mapped put in the school yard The goal was to run across Canada and raise funds Day after day, we ran the coarse, getting a popsicle stick with each lap to mark the school's progress We made it across Canada, and we contribute the funds we raisedbrThank you for this video
Comment from : Chris Odendahl

Comment from : Janice Rouse

I haven’t seen this mentioned, but an interesting fact about the Terry Fox Foundation…brbrTerry refused any corporate sponsorship He wanted a small $1 per Canadian at the time and didn’t want corporate involvement brbrTo this day there is no corporate sponsorship in the annual Terry Fox Run It is all volunteer, local community fundraising brbrA true Canadian hero brbrRIP Terry
Comment from : Rick Schlosser

Terry was from my hometown My mom remembers watching him train around the neighborhood He passed a year before I was born
Comment from : some person

Terry Fox was one of the first times as a child that I realized a single person can actually make a positive difference on such a grand scale - the deciding factor is determination and he demonstrates that to children (and adults) every Sept as the country remembers the lengths this man went to purely for the good of others
Comment from : Nicholas Worsley

I just found your podcast, i never tire of hearing the story of our beloved Terry Fox, he devoted the rest of his life for cancer research ❤❤❤
Comment from : Mary mwallace

the REAL Man of Steel there, a man of resolve, courage and determination
Comment from : Tony

I was 22 years in 1981 I remember Terry Fox very well I would watch him on the CTV News he was around my age I thought the story was so sad and he was so brave my kids grew up doing this Terry Fox runs and my grandkids I live through a part of real history, and that still amazes me
Comment from : lori mccumber

Now you know why we love Terry Fox Brilliant!❤
Comment from : Saintly2

I saw him He smiled, but he looked like he was in pain I am 60 now, and I have never forgot the second me made eye contact Kids like me ran after him
Comment from : Former Everything

I was living in Thunder Bay when he was hospitalized I was expecting to see him the next day running and was shocked when he couldn’t Many of us cried at the news My child and grandchild often participate in fundraising The Terry Fox run is part of Canadian culture now He was a bright candle that could not be extinguished even by death
Comment from : Bonnie Ferrante - Fun for Kids

Comment from : Nick Knight

Comment from : Kat w

I remember watching him on TV when I was a little kid I was 5 in 1980
Comment from : Jessica b

Tyler, I was a young man when Terry Fox began his run I became a father for the first time one month after he started it I can assure you, the entire nation was rivetted to his quest because it was impossible yet he was doing it right in front of the world's eyes The only sad aspect is that the world wasn't watching only Canadians were watching And yes Terry Fox was absolutely a super-human Absolutely a super-human We may never see another like him The best evidence for that theory is that we have never seen any other super-human since Terry Fox went back home to heavenbrbrTerry Fox was a sweet young man, a typically good looking 20 year old Canadian kid Not particularly outstanding in any way, but super outstanding in every other way A very good person, with more courage and grit than any human can be expected to be empowered with Terry Fox was extraordinary on so many levels 💞
Comment from : Albertarocks

Glorious!
Comment from : Kahless The Unforgettable

Born and raised in Chicago Have many Canadian relatives Spent a good part of my youth visiting and touring there However, that was all before Terry’s time What an incredible young man He accomplished more during his short time on Earth, than most people do in a lifetime spanning 7, 8 or 9 decades Thank you for enlightening those of us in the US about Terry Fox
Comment from : turkfiles

this is one of the few videos that I you
Comment from : Carol Trofanenko

Thank you for reminding me of what Terry Fox did Canada pushes Terry Fox so much that it's easy to forget why People survive cancer at increasing rates, and his memory is only a small memory of the pain he endured doing this No one expects being this inspiring in death Thank you for this video reminding us, Canadian or otherwise This isn't a Canadian thing, but he's only known here
Comment from : oudent

Terry Fox is a Canadian hero I was 12-13 years old when he was running and I will never forget his courage
Comment from : Juanita O

He ran for cancer was not a runner before
Comment from : Shane Brown

terry fox ran through Québec wondering why people did not show any interest in the event, he found out that his publicist did not think it necessary to market his run in French
Comment from : Attilio Barcados

Terry Fox I was old enough to watch it One of the greatest heroes in history Not just Canadian history
Comment from : PM Laberge

Terry Fox is an absolute Canadian Icon Thank you for taking the time to learn about his story brPretty much every Canadian adult would know who he was and his legacy lives on in the annual Terry Fox Run so even children are taught about this incredible young man I don't mind saying I do get emotional every time I hear about his story
Comment from : Stephen Jenkins

there has been a lot of debate here about putting him on an actual spending coin
Comment from : Dara abram Abram

Terry was amazing and sometimes that prosthetic would dig into his stump and cause it to bleed and he would run through it he was a true hero Every year in school we did the Terry Fox run to support him and his legacybrbrbrYou should also check out Rick Hanson if you don’t know about him he’s another interesting Canadian
Comment from : Al Shirley

Terry Fox is a Canadian hero! My university has a statue of him
Comment from : Deborah Cheung

I was the same age as he was when he died His story has always moved me profoundly And I told his life's story to my children Thank you, Tyler, for sharing that documentary video 😌
Comment from : Jasmine Chabot

Across the parliament there is a "Terry Fox statue in Ottawa" It is already getting a green patina
Comment from : Germeister

There are superheroes in the movies but in real life Terry Fox was and stillbris a real super hero who walked among us, I can not listen to the wholebrstory again because it always makes this grown man cry, and creds tobrhis best friend Doug Alward for being there for Terry when Terry neededbra true friend
Comment from : archie redman

Its sad that no one learn from these events (everything is possible) but yet you call him "super human" he is not , even worse he is disabled (and a healthy person wont even try to do something like that) not that his action changed anything at all exept maybe inspire a few people , but inspire them to do what ?

Comment from : TBKOTOROB

Sigh I wish you'd have let the vid play out Ive only found one reaction vid so far, who did so
Comment from : Borialis Nights

Paused a moment here for a comment, the 50 30 bit you catch it was saying he had a 50 chance of survival, but a few years earlier, it would have only been 30 in other words, he realized that as time passed, with research being done, life expectancy was rising, and that research was the answer, so he wanted to raise money for more research (lets get back to it lol)
Comment from : Borialis Nights

Terry Fox is Canada's son and our greatest hero The Terry Fox run happens every year and has raised millions for research There's a statue of Terry in Thunder Bay, ON Actually, you can find a statue in his honor is just about every Province
