《特里·福克斯的希望马拉松》
《特里·福克斯的希望马拉松》摘录了特里的《希望马拉松》日志，分享了一个众所周知英雄的不为人知的故事。
憨厚、坚韧的21岁的特里·福克斯，他将一个国家团结在自己的使命中。1976年，年仅18岁的特里·福克斯被诊断出患有骨肉瘤，右腿膝盖上方被截肢。帮助治愈癌症很快成为他的使命，这样其他人就不必承受他所经历的一切。
他梦想着举办一场横跨加拿大的筹款长跑“希望马拉松”——加拿大从纽芬兰省的圣约翰斯到不列颠哥伦比亚省的维多利亚，全程 5,300 英里。当他于 1980年4月12日出发时，加拿大人对此表示怀疑。但随着他继续穿越全国，人们的热情逐渐高涨。不幸的是，特里的癌症复发了，143 天、3339 英里之后，他被迫停止了希望马拉松。他于1981年与世长辞，但全国人民在他离开的地方继续他的使命，一年一度的特里·福克斯长跑活动甚至扩展到了世界各地的城市，迄今为止已经筹集了超过8.5亿美元，远远超过了特里为每个加拿大人筹集一美元的目标。
编辑芭芭拉·阿迪雅在对特里一生中的人——从他的兄弟姐妹、护士、教练到希望马拉松的志愿者，进行了五十多次采访后，发现特里是如何做到每天跑一个马拉松的。
《特里·福克斯的希望》通过他们的故事、特里的马拉松日记以及200多张照片和文献资料，向人们展示了只要有足够的毅力、决心、谦逊和支持，普通人也能完成不可能完成的任务。
Featuring excerpts from Terry’s very own Marathon of Hope journal, Hope by Terry Fox shares the untold story of a well known hero — the goofy, resilient, and courageous 21-year-old who rallied a nation behind his mission. In 1976, when Terry Fox was just eighteen years old, he was diagnosed with osteosarcoma and his right leg was amputated just above the knee. It quickly became his mission to help cure cancer so others would not have to endure what he had gone through. He dreamed up a Marathon of Hope — a fundraising run across Canada, from St. John’s, Newfoundland, to Victoria, British Columbia. 5,300 miles. When he set off on April 12, 1980, Canadians were dubious. But as he continued across the country, enthusiasm grew to a frenzy. Sadly, Terry’s cancer returned, and after 143 days and 3,339 miles, he was forced to stop his Marathon of Hope. He passed away in 1981, but the nation picked up his mission where he left off, and the annual Terry Fox Run has even spread to cities around the world, raising more than $850 million to date — well over Terry’s goal of one dollar for every Canadian. After conducting over fifty interviews with people throughout Terry’s life — ranging from his siblings, nurses, and coaches to volunteers during the Marathon of Hope — editor Barbara Adhiya discovers how Terry was able to run a marathon a day. Through their stories, passages from Terry’s marathon journal, and over 200 photos and documents, Hope by Terry Fox shows that with enough resilience, determination, humility, and support, ordinary people can do impossible things.
