I guess that one of the most important things I've learned is that nothing is ever completely bad. Even cancer. It has made me a better person. It has given me courage and a sense of purpose I never had before. But you don't have to do like I did...wait until you lose a leg or get some awful disease, before you take the time to find out what kind of stuff you're really made of. You can start now. Anybody can.
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 FoxI just wish people would realize that anything's possible if you try; dreams are made possible if you try.
Terry FoxThe night before my amputation, my former basketball coach brought me a magazine with an article on an amputee who ran in the New York Marathon. It was then I decided to meet this new challenge head on and not only overcome my disability, but conquer it in such a way that I could never look back and say it disabled me.
