Terry Fox - a true Canadian Inspiration

Terry Fox (1958-1981) - a person that has inspired so many people across our country as well as countries around the world. Terry Fox lost his leg to osteogenic sarcoma but with his artifical leg, he ran 5,373 km (St. John, Newfoundland & Labrador to just outside of Thunder Bay, Ontario) to raise the money for cancer research. He also inspired others to reach for your dreams despite trials you might have to face along the way.

A notice counting down the days until the Winter Olympics arrive in Canada. In 697 days, 4 hours, 50 minutes and 20 seconds from the time I took this photo, the opening ceremonies for the Olympics for both able and disabled athletes around the world begins.
