Here is a photo of a Canadian icon: Terry Fox. The photograph was taken by my Grandad Alan Mills during the famous Marathon of Hope in 1980. I’m not exactly sure where the photo was taken, but Terry was on his way to Halifax. My Grandad was very proud to have met Terry Fox and I’m delighted that I have this photo. A bit of Canadian history.
Of course, Terry Fox died of cancer the following year, but his legacy lives on through the annual Terry Fox Run held in Canada and around the world. My Grandad died of lung cancer in 1995.
