Next Thursday, classes will be walking to commemorate the Terry Fox Marathon of Hope. On a grey morning in St. John’s, April 12, 1980, Terry Fox stooped to fill a jug with Atlantic water to pour into the Pacific at the end of his journey. He touched the pebbles in the surf, spoke to some local reporters and started running. Few attended the start of the 21-year-old’s Marathon of Hope.

He rose before dawn each day to face another 42 kilometers, as well as pounding spring storms in Newfoundland, scorching heat in Ontario and, although he didn’t know it yet, the return of the osteosarcoma that had taken his right leg. But his resolve to reach his geographic goal drove him, as did his fundraising goal of $1 from each Canadian ($24M at the time) to further cancer research.

Fox received little or no reception in many communities but was buoyed along wherever locals did come to cheer him on and donate to his cause. The athlete and activist from Port Coquitlam, B.C., was forced off his route in Thunder Bay, Ont., on day 143. His cancer had spread to his lungs, and he died just months later, on June 28, 1981.

Communities, businesses and individuals donated $1.7 million while Fox was running. A national CTV telethon in his honour a week after his marathon ended brought in $10.5 million. Since then, annual Terry Fox runs and other Terry Fox Foundation initiatives across Canada and around the world have raised almost $800 million for cancer research.

Well before he took those first strides in St. John’s, Fox had told a friend that he aimed to run the length of Canada and, in a sense, he did. Few national symbols have proven as potent, unifying, or enduring as the optimistic young Fox outrunning cancer for 5,373 kilometers.

Terry ran close to 5400 km before losing his battle with cancer and we are issuing a challenge to the classes to surpass that distance, not in physical distance covered but in donations made. Donations for the QMS Terry Fox Walk may be brought to your homeroom in cash or purchased online through SchoolCash. Each $1 donated equals 10Km. Your class will receive 1 point for every 250 km ($25) collected and the class that travels the farthest across Canada will receive a pizza party.
