Help us finish it this September
- September 1, 1980 - near Thunder Bay, ON
As Terry ran through intense pain, hundreds of supporters gathered along the highway cheering him on, saying, "Keep going, you can do it!" and "We're all behind you." Refusing to let anyone down, he took a break hoping the pain might subside. Terry ran another mile until he couldn't see any more people, returned to the van, and asked Doug to take him to a hospital. Terry called his parents in Port Coquitlam and told them the cancer had returned. The following day he flew home to begin further treatments. Terry had run his last mile of the Marathon of Hope.
Terry started a marathon against cancer. Together, we can finish it. Join us for the 45th annual on September 14 in support of cancer research. Fundraise and donate today: terryfox.org
