That darn Terry Fox does it to me every time... I was a sobbing mess at the end of reading his story! I think Terry Fox should be hailed as a Saint. You need to read his story. This book is a super quick read and I dare anyone to read it without getting a lump in your throat and tears in your eyes. I dare you!
I'll take that dare

Ha, just kidding. I'd be interested in getting other perspectives on this one! Maybe you have to be old like me for Terry to pull at the heartstrings.
