Back in the 80s, the Terry Fox saga and his plight to raise money for cancer by running across this gigantic country captivated Canadians. I remember those days. We used to sit in class and watch his run. Sadly, his objective went incomplete after he succumbed to cancer. His legacy and influence remains.
In 1985, Steve Fonyo, a forgotten name in Canadian history, managed to finish what Fox couldn't and was given the Order of Canada. An honor that has been revoked. Sad to see where he ended up.
