A National Hero
By Max
I know that there are many people getting cancer and dying, or maybe they lose their parts of body. But when a young teenager, Terry Fox, gets cancer and saw a lot of people getting cancer, he decided to run to raise money.
Terry Fox was a healthy kid when he was little, but when he was a teenager, his knee was hurting and it never stopped. Terry went to the doctor and was known to get cancer. He was shocked and the doctors cut his right leg. He saw a lot of people getting cancer, and he thought of an idea to raise money. He wanted to run a long, long marathon, and he wanted to run over Canada. He started to run in 1980, but after a hundred and forty days later, he had to stop because his cancer came back. After a few months, he died, but many people raised money to the people who got cancer.
Terry Fox was a great teenager since he got cancer, and cutting his right leg, but not planning to give up. He wanted to help the people who got cancer, but not helping himself. He is a special man, so we need to bless him.
