Terry & me : the inside story of Terry Fox's Marathon of Hope / by Vigars, Bill,author.; Harvey, Ian(Ghost writer),author.;
"There has never been a Canadian quite like Terry Fox and there's never been a story quite like The Marathon of Hope. A twenty-two-year-old cancer survivor and amputee, Terry set out from St. John's Newfoundland in April 1980, aiming to run across Canada to raise money for cancer research. His first months on the road in Atlantic Canada and Quebec were not only physically taxing--he ran the equivalent of a marathon a day--but frustrating as Canadians were slow to recognize and support his endeavor. That all changed when he met a young man named Bill Vigars, who on behalf of the Canadian Cancer Society led a campaign to ensure that every person in Canada knew the story of this outstanding young man. Vigar was by Fox's side through all the highs and lows until the tragic end of his journey in Thunder Bay. A recurrence of his cancer cut short Terry's dream and, soon, his life. Now, for the first time, Vigar tells the inside story of the Marathon of Hope--the logistical nightmares, boardroom battles, and moments of pure magic--while giving us a fresh, insightful portrait of one of the greatest Canadians who ever lived."--
