CANADIANS don’t forget.
When Terrance Stanley Fox
first dipped his artificial leg
in the chilly Adantic Ocean
off the coast of Sr. Johns,
Newfoundland on Apnt 12,
1980, little did he know
what a magnificent effect he
would have on Canadians
and on the advances in can-
cer research to be made in
his memory.

After running an average
of 26 miles (43 kilometers) a
day, through six provinces on
his cross-Canada run, his
heroic fight to beat cancer
and find a cure came to a halt
Sept. 1; 1980, just outside of
Thunder Bay, Ontario.

The cancer had spread to
his lungs. It claimed his life,
not his dreams. Last Sunday,
millions: around the word
participated in the 17th
annual Terry Fox Run. On
the North Shore John and
Sharon Doherty, a terrific
couple from West Van; once
