When I reflect on 1980, I
think of Terry Fox. 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.

A tribute to Terry Fox
It took hila a while to
realize the impact he has had
on people, but telethons,
awards, tributes and letters
keep pouring in, and of
course, the marathon of hope
fund keeps growing. 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.
