Forty-three years after his death, Terry Fox continues to inspire people to overcome challenges with positivity, say family.
Fred Fox, the elder brother of Terry, shares how his brother’s legacy extends beyond cancer, inspiring individuals across Canada to confront various adversities with resilience.
Fred encounters many people who say they draw strength from Terry’s example to tackle their hurdles with a positive outlook, the way Terry did up until he died on June 28, 1981, following a bout with cancer that involved the amputation of his right leg.
Reflecting on Terry’s subsequent rehabilitation, Fred recalls Terry’s unwavering determination to learn to walk again with a prosthetic leg.
Fred believes Terry would take pride in knowing that his enduring legacy profoundly impacts individuals who, inspired by his story, choose to face their challenges with optimism.
