Canada's Hero

30 years ago, I remember my Dad sitting me down in front of the TV telling me to pay attention. He said this was going to be a moment in history and one day I'd want to tell my own kids about what I'd remembered. 30 years ago today, a man embarked upon a journey. A journey of hope. A journey for help. Unfortunately, he did not make it to the end of his journey on his own terms, but he'll forever be remembered for his strength, conviction, humility and grace. Terry Fox, you were an amazing human being and a consummate hero for all mankind. Thank you for your spirit. May we continue to strive toward a cure for such a horrendous disease - in your honour.
