Today in 1980, after months of preparation and training, Terry Fox dips his right leg into the Atlantic Ocean near St. John's, Newfoundland. He then filled two bottles with water, beginning the Marathon of Hope.
By September, he would be a Canadian icon.

Oakville sculptor Manfred Pirwitz works on a 10-foot-high statue of Terry Fox on Feb. 23, 1982. This statue will be part of the memorial to Fox near Thunder Bay. The monument was dedicated a few months later on June 26, 1982.

Terry Fox throws out the opening pitch in the game between the Toronto Blue Jays and Cleveland Indians at Exhibition Park on July 11, 1980.
Possibly inspired by Fox, the Blue Jays won 6-3.

Happy !

Betty Fox hugs her son, Terry Fox, during his Marathon of Hope in July 1980 near of Whitby, Ontario.
After Terry's death, Betty spent her life raising funds for cancer research in her son's name. In 25 years, she spoke to over 400,000 school children.

@zazzoo I don't think I've ever seen the statue of Terry Fox 'dressed up' the way it was during the convoy, not saying it hasn't been, just that I've not seen it and assuming it has, I would not be happy about that either.

Just learned about Terry Fox when I came across his statue in Ottawa this past weekend. What an absolute legend.
