Book Review - Terry Fox - By Maria Isabel Sanchez Vegara - Publication Date: 1 November 2022


 Courage and fortitude characterized Canadian Terry Fox.  He was a teen athlete who's sports' days seemed to have been arrested by cancer and a leg amputation.  Encouraged by another athlete of similar circumstances, Terry determined to run across Canada to raise funds for cancer.  Although he did not manage to complete his vision, others took up that torch and ran with it in yearly Marathons of Hope ever since.

I found this true story to be an excellent, well-illustrated children's book that any child in comparable situations as Terry had been, could take heart and focus on what he or she CAN do instead of what they cannot.  I certainly hope this will give many a child such resolve.
