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.
