Someone Special

                                                   Someone Special

              There was a guy, he ran across Canada with cancer to raise money for cancer research. He was in pain most of the time. He was very inspiring, his name is Terry Fox. He had a wish to find a cure for cancer research. One day he had a pain in his knee and when he woke up the pain was unbearable, so he was taken to a hospital. He found out he had cancer and he would have to get his leg remouved but the he realized that there are kids that are younger and the same age as him that have cancer too and some had died from it too. Terry Fox started his run in the east coast with his friend Doug and his brother Darell driving behind him. He raised lots of money for cancer research, but when he got to Quebec nobody knew what was going on, he ran on the road and people even tried to run him off the road. Terry fox ran 10 miles then took a break then he ran 12 miles then took a break. After just a week he had ran many miles. Terry Fox's story is very inspiring and touching story. That is why he is one of my heros.
