One of the most inspiring stories of hope and courage in Canadian history, Terry Fox: His Story is presented in this revised edition. In 1980, the 19-year-old cancer victim attempted to run across Canada to raise money and awareness for cancer research. Fox made it all the way from Newfoundland to Ontario before the spread of cancer halted his mission, but the dream he held continues to touch Canadians today. Leslie Scrivener covered Fox’s original Marathon of Hope, and based her book on interviews with the people closest to him, and even Fox’s own diary. The book has been fully revised from the original 1981 edition, and promises to keep the inspiration of Fox’s run alive.
