Thirty years ago today, a young man from Port Coquitlam dipped his artificial leg in the Atlantic Ocean before beginning a cross-country marathon.
When I first arrived in Canada some 22 years ago from the UK, I had little or no idea who Terry Fox was. But I have come to appreciate that Terry Fox’s legacy is truly phenomenal. On a personal note my sons attended Terry Fox secondary school in Port Coquitlam . I am so humbled by the inspiration that this brave young man has instilled in our community, across Canada and around the World.
