Burned her career and life to the ground with one of the most Christian, punk, AND moral actions all in the same, blazing moment. Nothing compares. #RIPSinead
Terry Fox was a cancer patient whose leg had been amputated just above his knee because of osteogenic sarcoma. Terry ran 3,339 miles (5,373 km) across Canada in 143 days; this is equivalent to running a full marathon every day.
"Today we got up at 4:00 am. As usual, it was tough. If I died, I would die happy because I was doing what I wanted to do. How many people could say that? I went out and did fifteen push-ups in the road and took off. I want to set an example that will never be forgotten," Terry said.
During his run across Canada, he was forced to stop because the cancer had spread to his lungs. Terry died a month before his 23rd birthday in 1981.
The annual Terry Fox run is a charity run that is held all over the world in his honor. It has raised more than $500 million for cancer research.

You have sold out the tour and I am the luckiest man alive. These are venues I never could have imagined being allowed to play in let alone selling out. Some loser scalpers got to some of these tickets so there are more available in select venues https://t.co/6UUV9AEBkE

Education is NOT a privilege. It is the most basic of human rights. How can the world still remain silent?
Once again on Christmas Eve in the Netherlands, school children laid candles at the graves of fallen Canadian soldiers in the Holten Canadian War Cemetery. Those soldiers gave their lives to help free the country in WWII and will never be forgotten.
In support of those struggling with mental health, bullying and body image I am making a 2,000 donation in the name of @realjackedwards to @TampaBayThrives and I encourage @TBLightning and @NHL fans to join me. Donate here: https://t.co/ZEbWHw6Cqv
I'm embarssed to have you as a colleague. The fact you can't even recognize -- let alone apologize for -- your miserable take, then double down with this garbage, is truly reprehensible. You've bought too far into your own hype and it's time to go.
After months of maximum effort, the decision (through inaction of the @Vanarama National League) to not allow domestic/international streaming of matches of Wrexham and the other clubs in the league is truly baffling. CC @btsport. Pls RT!!! 1/4
Not everyone is struggling right now - corporations certainly aren't
Almost a quarter of our population is going hungry while corporate grocers make record profits
We need windfalls tax on the obscene wealth of corporations and redistribute it to help Canadians hurting the most
Of all of our political divides, the fact that one party votes unanimously to address the climate crisis and one votes unanimously to do nothing might be the most jaw dropping for future generations (as it is to many who are here right now).
