Terry Fox Tour of Hope

I shot, directed and edited this video for The Terry Fox Foundation to help promote the 2008 Tour of Hope and the annual Terry Fox Run. The 1980 footage was provided courtesy of The Terry Fox Foundation. Please support The Terry Fox Foundation and help find a cure for cancer.

Outstanding tribute to an unmatched hero!

A true hero indeed.

This is a great video, linking Terry's marathon to the tour. I will be reviewing the movie "Terry" at my Toastmaters' on 20 November, and I will mention this video. It is very uplifting, and Terry would have fun watching it! His legacy lives on!

Terry must be rolling in his grave seeing how the multi-millions raised in his name have been squandered on junk science that only benefits those with a vested interest. What a tragedy that Terry's courageous accomplishments are being subverted year after year in order to deceive and swindle the public.

R.I.P. Terrence Stanley Fox with the knowledge that all truth is being revealed and in time, the charlatans and evil-doers who have purposely deceived the public will all be held accountable.

One aspect the video shows is it's only been a generation since the Marathon of Hope. I've written on other You Tubes, and I mention that Terry would be a year younger than I am. Some act as if I were an old man! Actually, I'm slightly older than Rick Hansen as well.

This video links Darrell Fox as he looked then (a cute kid) with 2008, and that emphasizes the short time that has passed. I look forward to the proposed marathon of runners who will trace Terry's path, hopefully next year.
