  • Credo Nei Miracoli TRIBUTO a TERRY FOX Di Eileen Pettigrew
    Credo nei miracoli TRIBUTO A TERRY FOX Di Eileen Pettigrew (Articolo apparso su Reader’s Digest Selezione, Settembre 2000) Il 17 settembre si corre a Milano, e contemporaneamente a New York, Nairobi e Bombay, la Corsa della Speranza, in ricordo di Terry Fox e della sua «Maratona». «Oggi Terry Fox potrebbe concludere la sua corsa» ha detto il Ministro della Sanità Umberto Veronesi. «La sua malattia, il sarcoma, si può curare e le nuove terapie permetterebbero perfino di non amputare la gamba. Vent’anni non sono passati invano, ma non si abbassi la guardia! Ecco perché la marcia di Terry Fox ha un valore enorme, soprattutto per i ragazzi». Selezione partecipa alla Corsa, che raccoglie fondi per la ricerca sul cancro, raccontandovi la storia di questo straordinario e coraggioso ragazzo. Il 1° settembre 1980, dopo aver corso per 3339 miglia su una gamba vera e su una artificiale, Terry Fox fu obbligato da una ripresa del tumore ad abbandonare la sua incredibile maratona attraverso il Canada. Due giorni dopo, il quotidiano della sua città, il Vancouver Sun, scriveva: «Una volta ogni tanto appare un essere umano eccezionale, le cui parole e azioni restituiscono la fede nella razza umana: un uomo capace di riempire noi comuni mortali dell’orgoglio di appartenere alla stessa specie, e di ispirarci a raggiungere vette più grandi, con un senso di indomabilità dello spirito umano. Terry Fox è uno di questi esseri umani…» Prima dell’alba, su un’autostrada deserta nell’Ontario settentrionale, un corridore solitario raggiunge la cima di un colle. Sta correndo da quasi un’ora, ma l’aria è ancora pungente di freddo.

Cancer Politics, Masculinity and Canadian Identity in the Terry Fox Story Julie Perrone, Ph.D. Concordia University, 2013 Looking at the multitude of honours received by Terry Fox during his short life and bestowed upon him after he passed away, it is undeniable that the marathon runner’s historical significance is tremendous. Despite the fact that he did not achieve his objective of running across Canada, and even though his life in the public eye only spanned a little over a year, Fox’s legacy and public and official recognition are quite impressive.

    Terry Fox 1 Terry Fox Terry Fox Terry Fox in Toronto during his Marathon of Hope cross-country run (July 1980) Born Terrance Stanley Fox July 28, 1958 Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada Died June 28, 1981 (aged 22) New Westminster, British Columbia, Canada Cause of death Metastatic osteosarcoma Education Simon Fraser University Known for Marathon of Hope Title Companion of the Order of Canada Terrance Stanley "Terry" Fox CC OD, (July 28, 1958 – June 28, 1981) was a Canadian humanitarian, athlete, and cancer research activist. In 1980, with one leg having been amputated, he embarked on a cross-Canada run to raise money and awareness for cancer research. Although the spread of his cancer eventually forced him to end his quest after 143 days and 5,373 kilometres (3,339 mi), and ultimately cost him his life, his efforts resulted in a lasting, worldwide legacy. The annual Terry Fox Run, first held in 1981, has grown to involve millions of participants in over 60 countries and is now the world's largest one-day fundraiser for cancer research; over C$500 million has been raised in his name. Fox was a distance runner and basketball player for his Port Coquitlam, British Columbia, high school and Simon Fraser University. His right leg was amputated in 1977 after he was diagnosed with osteosarcoma, though he continued to run using an artificial leg. He also played wheelchair basketball in Vancouver, winning three national championships. In 1980, he began the Marathon of Hope, a cross-country run to raise money for cancer research. Fox hoped to raise one dollar for each of Canada's 24 million people.
