The cancer patient and amputee who inspired Canada with an attempt to run across the country in 1980.
In April 1980, the young amputee Terry Fox began an attempt to run across Canada to raise money for cancer research and awareness. The "Marathon of Hope" covered 1000s of kilometres and captured the public imagination before Terry had to stop in tragic circumstances. Adrian Moorhead talks to Terry Fox's brother and a key member of the team. The programme is a Sparklab Production.
