Cancer affects 1 in 2 men and 1 in 3 women. Terry was diagnosed with Osteosarcoma at 19. Osteosarcoma is the most common bone malignancy in young adults. Terry really did affect the entire World with his heroic courage. He realized his dream of raising $1 for every Canadian. (which was $24,000,0000)

In his one run "Marathon of Hope". His vision was to raise funds for cancer research; research that will identify better ways to prevent, better ways to screen, and better ways to treat all types of cancer.

Jack Layton’s message to “please don’t be discouraged that my own journey hasn’t gone as well as I had hoped. You must not lose your own hope. Treatments and therapies have never been better in the face of this disease. You have every reason to be optimistic, determined, and focused on the future. My only other advice is to cherish every moment with those you love at every stage of your journey, as I have done this summer.”
