South Shore Keeps Terry Fox's Dream Alive

It's time to celebrate one of the most inspiring figures in Canadian history. Terry Fox Run's are slated to take place this weekend throughout the South Shore. In 1980, with one leg having been amputated, he embarked on a cross-Canada run to raise money and awareness for cancer research. Fox, was forced to end his quest near Thunder Bay after 143 days and more than 5,370 kilometres. However, his efforts resulted in a lasting, worldwide legacy. Here's Fox being interviewed as he announced his run was over.
