From the time 21 year-old Terry Fox embarked from St. John's, Newfoundland, in the early hours of April 12, 1980, he never lost sight of his goal - to run 26 miles a day, every day, across Canada. With the unwavering support of his best friend Doug Alward, his younger brother Darrell and a savvy PR guy named Bill Vigars,Terry ran 3339 miles in 143 days until the cancer returned and forced him to stop. Based on journals Terry kept during the Marathon of Hope and drawing from extensive interviews with family and friends, TERRY presents a dramatic and surprising look at a dynamic young man whose fierce determination has earned the respect, admiration and love of all Canadians. Playing Terry Fox is one of Canada's bright new stars Shawn Ashmore, who gives an outstanding performance, as he embraces the spirit and character of a Canadian hero. By the time Terry Fox's Marathon of Hope came to an end just outside Thunder Bay on September 1, 1980, Canada had affirmed a love for Terry and his heroic ambition. Today, as people in over 60 countries around the world prepare to participate in the 25th Anniversary of the Marathon of Hope, we're reminded of what an incredible accomplishment Terry achieved. Terry's legacy continues through The Terry Fox Foundation which has raised over $360 million dollars worldwide for cancer research. (official distributor synopsis)
