Terrance Stanley "Terry" Fox, CC(July 28, 1958--June 28, 1981) was a Canadian humanitarian, athlete, and cancer treatment activist. He became famous for his Marathon of Hope, a cross-Canada run to raise money for cancer research, running with only one leg. He is considered one of Canada's greatest heroes of the 20th Century and is celebrated internationally every September as people participate in the ’Terry Fox Run’, the world's largest one-day fundraiser for cancer research. 1, record 1, English, - Marathon%20of%20Hope

Terrance Stanley Fox, C.C. (28 juillet 1958 -- 28 juin 1981) était un athlète canadien et un activiste pour le traitement du cancer. On le considère comme un des plus grands héros du Canada du XXème siècle. Il est né à Winnipeg, au Manitoba, et a été élevé à Port Coquitlam, en Colombie-Britannique, petite ville située près de Vancouver sur la côte ouest du Canada. Très actif et sportif dans l'adolescence, Terry n'a que 18 ans lorsque les médecins diagnostiquent un sarcome ostéogénique (cancer des os) et amputent sa jambe droite six pouces au-dessus du genou en 1977. Durant son séjour à l'hôpital, Terry est très affecté par la terrible souffrance des autres patients qui sont, eux aussi, atteints du cancer; plusieurs d'entre eux ne sont que des enfants. C'est à ce moment que Terry décide de courir d'un bout à l'autre du Canada afin de recueillir des fonds pour la recherche sur le cancer. Il appellerait cet exploit le Marathon de l'Espoir. 1, record 1, French, - Marathon%20de%20l%27Espoir
