Common Q & A about the One Step At A Time Monthly Giving Club

I am at a point in my life where it has become important to me to "give back".  I asked myself which charity would I support?  My answer was swift and ABSOLUTE:  The Terry Fox Foundation.

I was a teenager when Terry's journey began in 1980.  While my biggest worries included which boy liked me, what party I would be going to that weekend and with whom, and which outfit would look best -Terry was fighting for his life.  After he finished fighting for his life in which he endured a leg amputation - he began to train to run so he could fight for every other cancer patient's life as well. I was fascinated with his personal journey and followed him throughout.

My fascination with Terry did not diminish when the Marathon ended that summer. Instead, my admiration for Terry increased as I grew into adulthood. He was only 22 when he died, and yet when I think of all he went through during his Marathon - physically (26 miles a day), mentally, emotionally, spiritually - I can’t help but be amazed of the difference he made, and the countless lives he improved.  And all he asked was $1 from every Canadian during his 143-day Marathon of Hope.

To describe Terry’s inner fortitude is impossible in mere words.  I am humbled to be a part of his legacy. He inspires me to be a better human being.
