My hero is Terry Fox. He was born on July 28 in 1958 in Winnipeg, Manitoba. He had 2 brothers and 1 sister. In 1981 he died from cancer at 22 years of age.

Terry Fox ran over 2000 kilometers across Canada to raise money for cancer research. He only had one leg which made the run harder for him. Terry Fox is my hero because he really stood out in Canada. He is a famous Canadian with his own statue in Thunder Bay, Ontario.
