Im going home Donny Posted September 2, 2005 Report Share Posted September 2, 2005 "Mabey you're young and mabey you're old. If you're old, you know that as life goes on, we do lose a part of ourselves along the way. And mabey the parts that we lose are the ones we once considered our best. But the thing about Terry is that he never lost the finest parts of himself, and because he left us the way he did, he's always there. To many people, Terry never stopped running. Day or night he's still near us, passing by the outskirts of the cities we live in; he's out there in the Rockies and out there admidst the fields, out there on the Canadian highways, with his strange hop-click-thunk step, forever fine and forever keeping the best parts of ourselves alive, too."-excerpt from Douglas Copeland's book Terry, a collection of artifacts to commemorate the 25th anniversary of Terry Fox's Marathon of Hope.

Now if that isn't inspiration for a Friday morning, or any morning for that matter, I don't know what is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave-O Posted September 2, 2005 Report Share Posted September 2, 2005 One of my earliest memories is dragging my Mom to see Terry Fox as he ran through Sault Ste Marie. It was just days before the Marathon of Hope ended and there were so many people lining the highway that Terry's crew couldn't even collect all the money being passed to them.

Davey Boy 2.0 Posted September 2, 2005 Report Share Posted September 2, 2005 I don't think I'll ever forget seeing him just outside of Thunder Bay on that day, my family and I were coming back from vacation and of course Terry was all over the news. I didn't follow that "Greatest Canadian" thing on the CBC but I would hope that he won out in the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomFoolery Posted September 2, 2005 Report Share Posted September 2, 2005 Yeah, I was 7 years old when he was doing the marathon of hope. He was and still is my greatest hero, too.They were doing a bit on him on the cbc the other day while I was driving to work. I was pretty shocked to see what an emotional response that story still brings out of me... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
