“I’m not a dreamer, and I’m not saying this will initiate any kind of definitive answer or cure to cancer, but I believe in miracles. I have to.” - Terry Fox

To achieve greatness is to be determined and inspired by a vision that you never give up on. Terry Fox brought countless #Canadians together and helped to better the quality of life of individuals living with #cancer by raising money and awareness for the cause.

Art has the potential to evoke feeling and it can be argued that the cornerstone of artistic expression lies within an emotional response on behalf of the viewer. What is your favourite piece of art and how does it make you feel?

To mark the 30th anniversary of the Louvre's famous glass pyramid, the street artist known as JR was commissioned to design an optical illusion made of paper strips. The temporary collage provides an added depth that makes the pyramid appear as if it's about to sink #art

During his Marathon of Hope, Terry Fox ran over 5,300 kilometers on a prosthetic leg that was made for walking. Ignore convention, break the rules, and dare to do something great. #LegacyArtProject #TerryFox
