Fred is Terry Fox's older brother, and he was so generous with his time to have a chat with me about Terry and the foundation. Every Canadian knows who Terry Fox is. Kids across Canada today read about him in the history books. Those who were alive in 1980 saw him on TV every morning running across the country on 1 leg and 1 shitty prosthetic. He was raising money to fund cancer research. Over 40 years after his passing at 22 years old from cancer, his foundation has now raised over $850 million. The Canadian Federal Government is planning on putting a new face on the $5 bill, and Terry is the front runner.
Terry Fox is a hero, and I think Americans should know about him too.
