#OnThisDay – September 2, 1980 –Thunder Bay, ON    “I’ve got cancer in my lungs. We have to go home and do more treatments. But all I can say is that if there is any way I can get out there and finish, I will.” Terry didn't quit and neither will we. run.terryfox.ca

#OnThisDay – August 30, 1980 
Terry ran on a part of the Trans-Canada Highway that was renamed the Terry Fox Courage Highway. "On my run I thought about the meaning of life. It’s not wealth or fame. When I got emotional it was because I was happy.” run.terryfox.ca

#OnThisDay – August 8, 1980 – Blind River, ON   “I’ve met 10 people who have the same disease as me, where I met have only met one person a few years earlier. That just shows people are living with cancer and progress is being made.”   terryfox.org/run2022

Today is Terry’s birthday! Celebrate his legacy and continue his dream by joining the #TerryFoxRun on September 18. Find a local run, volunteer as an organizer, or form a team with friends, family or coworkers to raise funds for cancer research. terryfox.org/run2022

#OnThisDay – July 10, 1980 – Scarborough, ON    Terry did not see Betty until she was 10 feet away. He smiled and ran into her arms. "I met my parents in a surprise meeting. Then I did 10 miles, which took me into Metro Toronto. Again, unreal reception.” terryfox.org/run2022

#OnThisDay – July 4, 1980   Terry is asked how he runs with so much pain: “It’s a lot less than the pain of having cancer, and I can quit any time I want to — not that I’m going to — but those people can never quit.” terryfox.org/run2022 #ImNotAQuitter Photo by Gail Harvey.

#OnThisDay – June 1, 1980 – Welsford, NB "The #7 highway is very narrow, windy, and dangerous with lots of traffic. I am very tired and sore, I need a break and have to take it. I will turn failure into victory." terryfox.org/run2022 📸 Gail Harvey

#OnThisDay – May 31, 1980 – Saint John, NB Darrell Fox, Terry's brother, joins the Marathon of Hope. “I know I’ve missed out on my graduation, but I feel that being with Terry is one of the greatest things that is going to happen to me in my life.” terryfox.org/run2022
