Description
Terry Fox was a Canadian who loved sports and wanted to become a sports teacher. However, he received a cancer diagnosis that meant his leg would have to be amputated. This experience made him want to do something to help others with cancer. As a result, Terry embarked on an incredible journey - the Marathon of Hope. He ran for 143 days, traveling the equivalent of a single marathon every day, and raised millions of dollars for cancer research. The book tells his inspiring story through stylish and quirky illustrations and extra facts at the back. This book is part of the Little People, BIG DREAMS series, which explores the lives of outstanding people who achieved incredible things despite their challenges. It offers an empowering message to children about the importance of perseverance and helping others.
