__Terry Fox: His Story__
**"Nobody is ever going to call me a quitter."** These are the words from the stubborn Terry Fox, a one-legged runner determined to run across Canada (can you say rainy and cold weather?) with an uncomfortable prosthetic leg in order to raise one million dollars for cancer research. Can you imagine how far that can go...and it was in the early 1980s when this happened! Find out how this cranky yet determined soul rallied for his cause.

Follow his journey in this book. Bring an ice pack. Just reading it will make your legs hurt! Oh, and as long as you're up...better bring a box of tissues over.

(Note: there are occasional swear words in diary entries)
