40 years ago today Terry Fox, a 21 year old Canadian who lost a leg to cancer, began an east to west cross-Canada run to raise money and awareness for cancer research. He ran the equivalent of a full marathon every day and made it to 145 days and 5,373km before he was forced to stop and he lost his battle with cancer.
My daughter had osteosarcoma at 8 years old - the same cancer as Terry, same leg.
She’s 6 years cancer free now. Advances in medicine are amazing.
So glad your daughter came through this and congratulations on her cancer free status. Hopefully there will be a cure for this dreadful disease sooner rather than later.
This makes me teary happy.
I’m so glad to hear she is well!
