Even on a national holiday, Terry did not stop running. When Terry reached Ottawa on July 1, 1980, the atmosphere was electrifying and he was welcomed by cheering supporters. Terry’s story continues to inspire people around the world of all ages, backgrounds, and abilities.

Along with letters, people sent Terry many gifts, large and small. From a single leg warmer for winter runs to handmade cards–which is where this “Run Terry Run” message comes from.

Terry wanted to run across Canada to raise awareness and funds for cancer research. Many doubted this was possible, but as Terry ran, people took notice, and he became the “greatest hero ever” for many.

I wouldn't normally share a link to an obituary, but every @Canucks fan needs to read the last line of this gentleman's obit. Please read it. I promise you will laugh out loud.
