Although it was a chilly‚ Pre-Winter morning‚ national star Terry Fox was dripping with sweat and grimacing from pain. Running 40 kilometers daily with only one whole leg is not an easy task. But Terry Fox was not stopped by this. The moment before he collapsed to near death‚ he was still running. Athletes‚ especially runners‚ rely on having healthy legs to carry them.
