Also bicycle for 1 mile next to Terry Fox, in 1980. I remember him being kind and seemed very determined.

Now THAT is one person I would like to spend time with if I could get that wish granted. Even just to say "Thank you" would be enough.
He is the epitome of couragious and heroic and always will be. I love that kid and always will.
He died too young, with so much to accomplish. And we are the poorer for his loss.
My daughter wore her 25th anniversary Terry Fox Marathon T-Shirt to school yesterday!!.

I was coming home from the town about 1 mile from my home, and peddled my bike besides him, the last word he said to me was THANKS. I turned in the driveway and he continued on, for another 1/2 mile. They stayed at the motel that night, an he gaved a speech at the town hall. Next morning before sun up, he was already on the road, heading west of course.{TRUE CANADIAN HERO!}
