BR: 2-15: The Long Road

I read 'The Long Road' written by Rod Smith.

This is a true story. This story impressed my deeply. 'Terry Fox has cancer and he has an artificial leg. He runs across Canada for sick children and he gets $10,000,000. Read about his Marathon of Hope, his pain, and his short life. This is the true story of a strong athlete-and a Canadian hero.'( back cover of The Long Road)

I wonder that people who has a physical disability or being sick has strong spirit. He ran the long road with his artificial leg for sick children. He achieved great thing. I can't do such a thing. Most of people can't do too, I think. I respect him. To our regret, he died on June 28, 1981. I pray his soul may rest in peace.
