Back in 1980, I can remember a young man that decided to do something rather than just sit back and allow cancer to take over his life.
Terry Fox.
His Mom didn't agree with what he was doing, but when she saw how determined he was....she relented to his stubborness.
Betty Fox was a strong woman, and when her son passed away, she wanted to keep his memory alive. She worked night and day to ensure that the legacy that her son began, she would continue - and it would keep not only Terry Fox's memory out there....but also keep the hope and dream alive that one day cancer would be beaten.
Just last year she participated in the Olympics' closing ceremony.
Just yesterday morning , that Strong Woman, Terry Fox's mother, passed away peacefully in a hospice from complications from Diabetes.
