The first person to run across Canada was Terry Fox. He began his journey on April 12, 1980, with the goal of raising awareness and funds for cancer research after losing a leg to the disease. His Marathon of Hope covered over 5,300 kilometers before it was cut short by his illness in September 1980. Fox's determination and spirit have made him a national hero in Canada.

No. His 5,000-mile run across Canada was cut short when doctors found his cancer spread to his lungs. He died 10 months later. From his courageous trek, Terry Fox raised $1 dollar for every person alive in Canada in 1980.
