In his honour, the first Terry Fox Run event was held on Sept. 13, 1981 at 760 sites across Canada. Now, the Terry Fox Run has become an annual event held worldwide.

I remember taking part in that first run.

I also remember that the very first poem I ever wrote was about Terry Fox. Writing a poem was a grade 8 English class assignment and he had become the first person I saw as a "hero". I'm sure I still have a copy of it somewhere...
