Everybody seems to have given up hope of trying. I haven't. It isn't easy and it isn't supposed to be, but I'm accomplishing something. How many people give up a lot to do something good. I'm sure we would have found a cure for cancer 20 years ago if we had really tried
Terry FoxEven though I'm not running anymore, we still have to try to find a cure for cancer. Other people should go ahead and try to do their own thing now.
Terry FoxItโs one thing to run across Canada, but now, people are really going to know what cancer is.
Terry FoxWhen I started this run, I said that if we all gave one dollar, weโd have $22 million for cancer research, and I donโt care man, thereโs no reason that isnโt possible. No reason!
Terry FoxSome people canโt figure out what Iโm doing. Itโs not a walk-hop, itโs not a trot, itโs running, or as close as I can get to running, and itโs harder than doing it on two legs. It makes me mad when people call this a walk. If I was walking it wouldnโt be anything.
Terry FoxI donโt feel that this is unfair. Thatโs the thing about cancer. Iโm not the only one, it happens all the time to people. Iโm not special. This just intensifies what I did. It gives it more meaning. Itโll inspire more people. I just wish people would realize that anythingโs possible if you try; dreams are made possible if you try
