瞻仰 泰瑞.福克斯

瞻仰 泰瑞.福克斯 文/炎黄 倒下，消逝在时间里 伫立，岁月中永恒 时间在你身边悄悄流去 我站在你面前 仰望你 ，看着前方的你   一群孩子欢笑着 从你身旁跑过 你曾经在他们之中 两个坐轮椅的人 慢慢向雕塑靠近 你有过相似的身影   风中飘逸你的汗味 路上留着孤独的脚印 没有经历，无以言表其中艰难 若我，或许颓废消沉 你用一条腿跑着，越过万里山河 在生命的巅峰，伫立永恒   仰望你，阳光之中   你向前的姿态充满坚毅和无畏 你的眼里闪烁希望的光辉 到你身边抚摸冰冷的假肢 我感受深藏的痛苦和眼泪 2019，04，27

errance Stanley "Terry" Fox CC OD (July 28, 1958 – June 28, 1981) was a Canadian athlete, humanitarian, and cancer researchactivist. In 1980, with one leg having been amputated due to cancer, he embarked on an east to west 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$750 million has been raised in his name, as of January 2018.[1]

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. He hoped to raise one dollar from each of Canada's 24 million people. He began with little fanfare from St. John's, Newfoundland, in April and ran the equivalent of a full marathon every day. Fox had become a national star by the time he reached Ontario; he made numerous public appearances with businessmen, athletes, and politicians in his efforts to raise money. He was forced to end his run outside Thunder Bay when the cancer spread to his lungs. His hopes of overcoming the disease and completing his marathon ended when he died nine months later.

In addition to being the youngest person ever named a Companion of the Order of Canada, Fox won the 1980 Lou Marsh Award as the nation's top sportsman and was named Canada's Newsmaker of the Year in both 1980 and 1981. Considered a national hero, he has had many buildings, statues, roads, and parks named in his honour across the country.
