Book review1-04:THE LONG ROAD

This was very short story but I could know one of the "Canada's hero".
The hero's name is Terry Fox. When he was eighteen years old, he had an "Athlete of the Year" award from his school. However, one day he said "It's my right leg", suddenly.
Then the family took him to the hospital.Terry had cancer and doctors operate.
He became an artificial leg. Then he often thought of the children with cancer in the hospital, and believed " only money can stop the pain". He decided run across Canada for money.
On April 12, 1980, he started a marathon. When he pained his leg, he didn't see a doctor.
But, on September 1, he stopped running and go to the hospital. Terry had cancer again. However, a contribution collected about $3,500,000.
Terry Fox dead on June 28, 1981. Terry became famous hero.
In the same week in September every year, people run and remember " Canada's hero".
