Today is the 30th aniversary of the Marathon of Hope ran by Terry Fox. It was meant to help cancer patients heal and recover by providing research and treatment money. "I do believe in miracles...I have to" said Terry Fox. After he learned he had cancer and got amputated, he could have try to live a "normal" life and do stuff a twentyish years old would do. But he chose to sacrifice the rest of his life so that others could maybe have the chance he didn't have to survive and heal.

Today is the day to remember him and continue his work, one step at a time and each one his own way.

Terry Fox is an international hero,his strength,perseverence and courage are an inspiration to anyone that suffers any kind of hardship.He carried on with his marathon until he came to Thunder Bay where it was absolutely impossible to carry on.Despite enduring agonizing pain he ventured out in all kinds of inclement weather so that other lives may be saved by the money he raised.For his own selfless act millions have been raised and thousands have had their lives lengthened and even cured of their cancer. God Bless Terry Fox a true hero and an example for the world.BTW he started his marathon just a couple of miles from my home, I didn't get to see him start as I had to work but even then I was touched by his determination and spirit.

There are many, many heroes in this world.

Being judicious and identifying the real ones can sometimes be challenging, though.
