A 21-year-old with one leg ran 3,300 miles and raised $24 million. What’s your excuse?​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ In 1980, a 21-year-old with one leg stepped onto the road in St. John’s, Newfoundland. No sponsorship. No guarantee. Just a goal — run across Canada and raise money for cancer research. Terry Fox ran nearly a marathon every single day for 143 days straight. 3,300 miles on one prosthetic leg. When the cancer reached his lungs and forced him to stop, he had already raised $24 million. He passed away in 1981. But the run never stopped. Today, the Terry Fox Run happens every year across dozens of countries — still raising money, still going. One person. One mission. No excuses. → Share this if it moved you. → Save it so you remember it. #TerryFox #marathon #inspiration #cancer #running
