  • @dreamworldlala Ya. In Canada, i really enjoy the Terry Fox run because it keeps me in shape and were all doing it for cancer. Meanwhile in U.S.A. they are eating burgers 1 by 1 every second of the day chugging 350,000 litres of pepsi down their throats talking trash about Canada and how much our country sucks.

  • wow! poor guy

  • the pride of all candians i dont know who could dislike this hero

  • Our canadian hero.

  • what a sacrifice ladys and gentlemens...

  • When you factor in how young he was when he did all this hes gotta be the greatest Canadian who ever lived. Most passionate for sure

  • @ProfessorBallsAss You mean the best Canadian who ever lived besides me… jk. He was a Hero. Even better than spiderman, and that movie was awesome! lol.

  • He ran 5373 in 148 days.that's very amazing. he ran with 1 leg.OMG!!!!!!

  • The 24 people that disliked this video are honestly probably some of the worst people on the world if they would do something like that. Terry Fox was an amazing person. Seriously, just get a life -- He ran a marathon every day, his goal to run across Canada. With one leg. So just piss off, if you really think that this is some sort of joke.

  • this the vid i saw at my school but longer

  • Thank you, Terry. We love you, and we miss you.

  • He Ran About 42 KM pr daywith only one Leg... This Is a True hero No one Can Doubt That.

  • Terry, you shook my hand at Nathan Philips Square in Toronto. I ran behind you for awhile. Thank you for giving so much to the world.

  • Poor terry... r.i.p i love u. u could of made it...

  • I RAN THE TERRY FOX RUN TODAY IN CANADA BUT IM BACK IN THE STATES AND I RAN A 5K NONSTOP IM 9

  • @Mr44cod im doing that on sept 28th with my school and im 9 to0 and as a matter of fact i will practice my running

  • Wow how inspirational :)

  • Terry was a true Hero and always an inspiration to me

  • He died in 1981

    He started in 1980

  • One persons dream... Look what it became.. If you think you can't, your the only one standing in your way

  • If me,i donate whole house

  • If he is still alive,i would have donated half of my savings

  • hes a awesome great hero perth ontario is having there terry fox run sept 18th

  • and you fucking dumbass americans make all the biggest drug users and cheaters your heroes...now that's fucking sad!!!

  • LMFAO!!!! Canadians have so little to show the world that they place a disabled kid as one of their true heroes.... TF had a big heart, true, but the kid has no world figure status... never will... he is only a canadian obsession.... sad but true...

  • @Sattack210 LOL, did a Canadian piss you off once? Looking at your comments you seem to have a huge hate on for the country. Perhaps a bit of envy?

  • @Dakotaangel1: ENVY??? LMFAO!!!!! Canada is a cheap country with the worst weather, no culture or technology of their own, no military power, no history, no roots, no traditions, no truly big companies, NO NOTHING!!!!! Why the fuck would anyone have envy of such a mediocre nation???? Please explain me, PLEASE!!!!

  • @Sattack210 Canadians aren't really caught up in too much pride with their country. We don't look down on others and we don't go on big ego trips because of "wealth" or "power". This attitude keeps us out of trouble. We're a very down to earth country and we're very welcoming. We respect other Countries. Unfortunately, there are other countries who rear their ugly head because of how much they have or how much they've achieved. We don't give a fuck about any of that stuff.

  • @patrickdwyer: Not much pride???? You canucks are hypocrite beyond belief!!!!! You always claim to live in the "best country in the world" which of course produces the "best people in the world" and now you tell me you don´t have too much pride and a massive ego???? You can´t show wealth simply because you DON´T have it, and no, canada is NOT welcoming as you say, you treat your skilled immigrants like shit... sure you don´t care about achievements, yeah sure... LMFAO!!!

  • @Sattack210 Grow up man. This shit is supposed to be about Terry Fox but your beef with Canada has totally gotten in the way. Here's a problem with the world: The inability to see others as human beings like themselves because of the barriers created by countries. You're a very good example of that. Who gives a fuck where I'm from... Canada, Africa, England. I speak the truth. And because of your shitty attitude, you can't even appreciate Terry Fox just because he's from Canada.

  • @patrickdwyer : So strange... most canucks I know make distinctions of all kinds... as i said, most canucks are incredibly FAKE...

  • @Sattack210 I don't give a shit about what you think of Canada man. But if I were a person dying of cancer, looked up to Terry Fox and appreciated what he tried to do for me, I would be pissed at these ignorant comments. Some douchebag in the world thinking he got something to prove by bashing another country. Meanwhile we got a tribute video above to a guy who spent the final year of his life trying to raise money for those dying. Dude, you ought to be ashamed of yourself.

  • @patrickdwyer: Seems you never read what I wrote in the first place... I respect the kid, but a mediocre country (canuckland) tries to make him a world class figure... and he is not...

  • @Sattack210 "On Sept. 19, 2010, the 30th annual Terry Fox Run was held. So far, the event has raised $553 million for cancer research. And it has gone global. In 2008 alone, more than two million people in 28 countries took part in Terry Fox runs. Those locations included Afghanistan, Viet Nam, Saudi Arabia, Oman, Malaysia, France, Belgium and the United States."

  • @Sattack210 Did you just say "NO TRULY BIG COMPANIES". You like corporations to run your country? Are you fucking kidding me?.. you're so out of touch with reality.. just stay in the US and pay your corrupt politicians who love to help out those big corporations that pay ZERO TAX. what a joke.

  • @Sattack210 Here's a good idea. Why don't you forget about "countries" and "world statuses" and just plainly respect the man for what he's done and for what he tried to achieve? What you're mentioning isn't really the principle behind what the man set out to do. Very ignorant comment. Perfect example of what's wrong with the world. We need to forget about achievements and cut down barriers that separate countries. And plainly respect others (heroes like Terry Fox) for their intentions.

  • I am desperately looking for the 1983 movie DVD "The Terry fox Story" with Eric Fryer and Robert Duvall but it seems it hasn't been published yet and only exists in VHS. When one sees how much rubbish is published on DVD but not this heroic story, it's a real shame !

  • @Anditworks I just bought a used copy off of amazon, you probably won't find it any other way. It's not available anymore new and it's not on DVD.

  • when i'm older ill give all of my money for terry he did what he had'a do and now its my turn >:D

  • when im older ill give all of my money for terry he did what he had'a do and now its my turn >:D

  • when im older im give alll ov my money for terry he did what he had'a do and now its my turn >:D

  • 23 people are Mexicans.

  • He ain't just the greatest canadian who ever lived... he's just one of the best humans who ever lived on this planet.

    The youtube vids we have about Terry and his quest testify one basic thing: Heroes just never die.

  • Comment removed

  • I am very touched! :(

  • the people who dislike this video are evil people

  • why 23 dislikes???? why T____T

  • This is beyond words. Must be beautiful not to die in vain like this man, and do something heroic in life. Total respect from Brazil.

  • It's like he jesus.I feel ashame of myself.

  • god is so proud you

  • I don't understand how someone can dislike that. Terry is a true hero and a legend that inspires the entire world.

  • i was coughing and choking and bleeding in my chest..

    so i did 3 more miles and then i saw a doctor

  • When you think that life has beaten you down and you can't take another day, remember this boy. Remember his dream and try to imagine what everyday of his run must have been like for him. Imagine the strength that this young child had inside him, and then got off your sad ass and go take on your day. If Terry could do what he did, who the hell are you to feel sorry for yourself and what you have to do??

  • @HardRokMiner i know because in my school a girl about 10 years old hurt her knee that you could just let it slip in a few minutes and she was crying and complaining and i went to here saying thats nothin people have gone through more than just a little tumble

  • 1:48 Nice 1976 Camaro! ... I Mean go Terry Fox! :)

  • C'est génial.

  • RIP Terry and Betty Fox

  • Thank you Betty Fox for all you have done for cancer. RIP.

  • Terry Fox and Stan Rogers, two Canadians who were taken from us early.

  • Sleep well Mrs. Fox....

  • RIP Betty Fox, his Mom who just passed away this morning.

  • @ethicomm oh my... that´s so sad...RIP Betty and Terry Fox.

  • I feel ashamed of myself after seeing Terry. a True Hero. I shall try to run my best to participate in the Terry fox run and raise money for his dream :(

  • @alicextreme1981 Don't be ashamed of yourself. At least you remember Terry Fox. RIP his Mom who just passed.

  • the greates man ever lived

  • this shit made me cry

  • Thumbs up, if Monty Pythons "Ministry of Silly Walks" brought you here.

  • @Esoturda Shut up man and just watch the video.

  • THERE ARE 23 total idiots.

    R.I.P Terry, The Greatest Canadian.

  • I first saw "The Terry Fox Story" on HBO when I was about 12 years old. I am now 40, and I own the movie on VHS. I watch the movie two to three times per year, to maintain my inspiration!!! Terry was an inspiration, and his spirit lives among many!!!

  • I never heard of this guy until I saw the espn 30 for 30 on him last night. Brought me to tears. RIP man.

  • Who the hell could dislike this, what are you people heartless

  • @scoben31 It was added 5 years ago, back when YouTube still used the Star-Rating system of 1 to 5

    A lot of those are 3 and 4 star ratings (actually, most of them are)

    When YouTube converted from the 1.00-5.00 ratings-value system to the Like/Dislike system, they converted videos' existing Ratings into the new format; simple algorithm

    ie. 9 ppl vote a video to a 3.33 rating, becomes 6 Likes, 3 Dislikes

    Most ppl don't seem to know this, or realize that videos retained their ratings-positions.

  • A REAL hero forever! 

  • percebo que nos dias de hoje muitas pessoas reclamam da vida sempre ,e me deparo com uma história de vida como essa ,mesmo sabendo das suas limitações encarou esse desafio em prol dos doentes.Uma pessoa assim concerteza está bem próxima de Deus . são atos como esses que sempre têm que ser relembrado para pode incentivar a humanidade fique com deus terry fox

  • I can not tell if he was 100% inspiration or 100% perspiration? you could tell he was 200% all this?

    

  • whats the music ? its beautiful

  • terry fox has bin my hero since i was little!

  • I wonder if he's from the same litter as Michael j Fox...

  • We'll finish that race for you, dear Terry Fox! R.I.P.

  • Poor Terry.. He is a genius.

  • wtf with the 22 people dosn't like....i don't understand that...

  • my hero!

    

  • This guy is far from the greatest Canadian. He didn't do any cancer research or fund the cause. Guilting people into donating money is not a skill. Alexander Graham Bell and Sir Frederick Banting are much greater men.

  • @KeyserGalt if it's so easy, then i'd like to see you get people to raise $30 million for cancer research.

    yeah that's what i thought you fucking tool. banting and fox and the greatest canadians enough said.

  • @KeyserGalt be ashamed of your self !

  • @JacksonXxXWaWa For what? Terry Fox was an admirable man but after the Marathon of Hope, Canadians began propping up mediocrity on a pedestal. People who don't actually have any ability are given credit for "raising awareness" or "giving back to the community." Sorry, but you don't deserve a standing ovation for wearing a ribbon, blowing a whistle and walking down the street.

  • @KeyserGalt i dont care the fucking people fella,look at this kid what hes done ,,its just unnormal and very beautiful for me

  • how do you kill a fox?

    take off his leg and make him run cross the country

  • @doomsday4yall looks like u are not CANADIAN

  • What do you call a one legged fox?

    you call him terry

  • Terry God bless your soal your a great man

  • dude my friends name NO FUCKING JOKE his name is terry fox!!! and who would ever dislike this?

  • The definition of hero. What an incredible story. People around the world need to hear his story.

  • Every Canadian knows Terry Fox.

  • @NationalPro So should every American. I do my part. As Terry might have said, "They get cancer in the United States, too."

  • An inspiration to us all

  • Shame on all of those who disliked this video!!!! Terry fox is my biggest hero!

  • <333 Terry fox is an encouraging human for us all. He taught us never to give up and push through and follow your dreams. He proved you can accomplish almost anything you set your mind too. He even taught the people with Cancer not to be sad or ashamed to have cancer and that cancer does not make you an outcast. He is a national wide hero Rest in Peace Terrance Stanley fox...

  • We ALL have to learn something from him. He teached us that as much life can kick you, you can kick life. Run Terry, run for all of us.

  • @ciolamorta

    "Run For all of us" is this a joke because unless your a cancer patient run for yourself lol thats a big negative over. its like saying "terry you go fight the war for us".. you my friend, write history with your own feet. over and out. hooah!

  • The human being would walk 4 to 5 times around the world in a lifetime, however Terry's walk is far much longer than that, because when you add his steps you add up the pain and the love and that my friends is an infinity walk, that walks after he's long gone, walks in history and in the hearts of his love ones. Thank you Terry.

  • He was a great source of inspiration and he still is. One of the mos courageous man that earth have knowned.

  • @tchouwie I'd like to have one tenth of his determination.

  • I remember watching him run past my house and a week later finding out he died while doing what he believed in. He opened alot of people's eyes including Rick Hansen.

  • Terry Fox was the biggest canadian hero of all time, I remembering seeing him come into toronto on his run, he was so brave, a true hero, god bless terry Fox

  • How Can 22 People Be Against Hope & Raising Money For Cancer? That Makes Me More Sad Then The Story Its Self.

  • When I was in grade 2, terry would run by Glen School in Poco (maybe he was training?)l. With that skip hop swoosh I like to call it. We'd all turn around and look, puzzled, not quite knowing what to think. A lady that lived down the street was having coffee one day with my mum and there was a piece in the local paper about this kid who was going to run across Canada on one leg (I had no idea what was going on at the time) She laughed like he was crazy...and thank God he was.........

  • A defining moment in Canadian history, Terry Fox fought a valiant battle against cancer and raised awareness and millions of dollars for research in the process. He is the ultimate Canadian.

  • kingofriou88, I am sorry I don't know who Devon Larratt is.

  • the terry fox memorial was unveiled in vancouver today.

  • true legend.

  • Terry is probably one of my biggest heros... I really look up to him

  • Im proud to be canadian :D whoever thinks terry fox is gay go **** urself

  • A great man who captured the attention of the whole world back in those days..

    something I will never forget..captures the best in human spirit...

  • Terry is good boy. Respect.

    RIP

  • I know a police officer who followed Terry through Peterborogh and later down hwy 115. The police officer told me that Terry had to stop running to soak up the blood from his amputated leg every once and awhile. Terry Fox is a hero who will never be forgotten. What a human being, the whole time he was doing this, he was under extreme pain. I can't think of a greater human being!!!!!!!!!!!! R.I.P Terry

  • @msloudmouth82 TF is a true Canadian hero, no question about it. I respect him more than anyone. But that police officer was wrong. Terry's bleeding had stopped, well before he started his marathon. Google it. He was just making sure his prosthetic leg was still securely attached because he was jogging almost literally non-stop. 

  • 0:01 He did not live. But he was ABSOLUTELY deserving of life! A true Canadian hero!

  • I never knew the story of Terry Fox until today. What an inspiration!

  • Terry Fox is a hero. I was born in Thunder Bay, Ontario and that is where Terry Fox got very sick and had to stop. However there is a giant beautiful statue there to commemorate his selfless acts and heroism. Terry Fox is a Canadian hero and a inspiration to all people everywhere.

  • @UltMitSinner78 I found it ironic that Eric Staal was recently pictured with a teshirt: Hockey Fights Cancer. He was born in Thunder Bay after Terry had stopped and died. If I ever get to Canada again (and the last time was April 1978), I'd surely want to visit the nearly three-meter statue.

  • Terry Fox is and will always be more then just a Canadian hero. He is a hero to the world. Growing up in Houston, Tx. I remember following his marathon of hope as a young teen and being so inspired by him. He made us all proud!

  • i am proud that i am canadin go terry fox

  • he is just amazing!

  • The GREATEST Canadian that has ever lived.

  • @gordlightfootfan thats devon larratt.

  • @gordlightfootfan the greatest canadian who ever lived is georges st pierre

  • @omgbbq2 lol no

  • @omgbbq2 lol, nice try.

  • i can even describe the people who dislike this

  • I am from Terry's home town. I graduated from Terry Fox high school. This year my middle school raised $36,900 for the Terry Fox Foundation. Terry continues to inspire the young people of our communities. The marathon of hope is still being run...the torch has been passed to another generation.

  • God Bless You, Terry

  • Show your heart to others less lucky then us !!!
