In TERRY & ME, a new book by Bill Vigars, readers are transported back to 1980, when Fox was in remission from his cancer and embarked on his now iconic run. His ambitious goal: to run across Canada while raising $24 million, a dollar for every Canadian then alive.
But when Fox chose to begin his run in St. John’s, N.L., in April, he didn’t realize that the timing coincided with the Canadian Cancer Society’s annual daffodil campaign — its biggest fundraising initiative that consumed substantial time and resources. Through personal memories, letters, and diaries, as well as recent conversations with others who shared in Fox’s journey, Vigars takes readers through the logistical challenges and emotional highs and lows of the now-famous Marathon of Hope. He also provides a firsthand look into Fox’s spirit — quiet, resilient, determined, and unwavering in his commitment to raise awareness and money for cancer research.
