Much of society has been living in the so-called "me generation" for many years with in- dividuals wondering, "What can I do for me?" and "How much can I get for me?" Terry reminded us of the importance of one, not in the selfish sense but in the sense of how much one person can do for others. During his cross -Canada run, he showed the ability to keep his feet on the ground and his head out of the clouds even while chasing a dream few people believed he could catch. His determination, courage and compassion made believers out of millions. • He was as touched by the response of the people as we were amazed by his per- severance. Although he could not physically com- plete his run, he has not failed, and since September, his same strength of character has come through. He has never asked for anything for himself. If people wanted to become involved in his marathon of hope, he urged us to give to the Canadian Cancer Society for cancer research, which is an investments in our own furure. His original goal of $1,000,00 quickly passed. $3,000,000; $10,000,000; $20,000,000; and still the fund is growing. $1 per Canadian no longer seems like a fantasy. Perhaps it is Canadians' way of saying: "We got your message, Terry. The battle against cancer is everyone's fight, and we want to be part of the marathon of hope, which will not end until a cure for cancer is found." The responsibility now lies with cancer officials and researchers to wisely direct the moneys where they will do the most good. What is happening to Terry now seems unfair; cancer never is fair. Characteristically, in a television interview a few weeks ago, he tried to help the public accept what he has accepted - that he may not win his current battle against the disease. It doesn't mean he has stopped fighting or given up hope. That's not his style. The marathon of hope has become more than one man's run across a country and more than a financial investment. It has become a people -investment, and Terry has always been upfront with the public. 7emoist 76#44 Spending New Years Day with Ed and Flora Gackstetter were Bill.

He is quoted as saying he still can't believe it's him people are talking about. lie doesn't see himself as being special. (Special people never do.) Ile still sees himself as just a guy with a dream, In one of his , speeches during his. run, he said he hoped he could set an example, not only for cancer patients and people who work with the cancer society and in cancer research but for all people, that they should do the best they can in whatever they do and never give up. What better philosophy could any of us start a new year with? If he had postponed his dream or not believed in his ability to reach his goal, think what would not have happened in Canada in 1980. He has also been quoted as saying recently that he thinks his impact on the country will be a temporary one. Inour matter-of-fact everyday lives emotional highs and lows come and go. API When we were in doubt, Terry showed grass-roots Canadians that we can still work together. We shouldn't forget that. On year-end radio talk programs in this part of Ontario, people called to name the most important person or event of 1980; many callers were kids. The name Terry Fox was heard nine times out of ten, and it was probably the same across the province and the country. When someone touches the lives of millions of people of all ages in a way that defies explanation, the impact has to be a lasting one. Terry Fox, Canadian of the Year and Canadian Athlete of the Year in 1980, is an outstanding Canadian of whom we will all be proud for a long, long time to comer. i 1 '0 Te -.r -e_.
