The Spirit of Terry Fox Terry Fox wasn’t an ordinary person. His spirit will never disappear. He was very optimism. He suffered from a cancer, but he still thought that he was a survivor not a victim, even though he had one leg, he did not care much about it. He believed himself can beat the cancer, he never gave up. He was also a friendly man, he ran across Canada due to raise money for cancer research and he encouraged people who had cancer to do not give up. Terry told Winston to face tough stuffs instead of run away. Obviously, he was a strong man as well. He ran across Canada on one leg no matter the weather—snow, sleet, rain, cold and he ran 42 kilometers each day. Eventually, he ran 5373 kilometers in 143 days. He was a nation hero in Canada, we will follow the spirit that he left. He showed me that I can accomplish any dream just by trying.
