Question

Impossible as it seemed, Terry decided to run across Canada. He hoped to raise one million dollars for cancer research.

For the first days of his marathon, Terry Fox was alone. He got up early and started running at 4:30 am. Day by day, people began to realize that something big was happening on the lonely road. As people saw Terry, they stopped and donated (捐贈(zèng)) money for cancer research.

However, his health took a rapid turn for the worse several months later. The cancer had returned and it was in his lungs(肺). He had to give up his marathon on September 1,1980, Terry died a few months later, at the age of 22. In his short life, he raised $ 24 million for cancer research --- one dollar for every Canadian.
