Around Ottawa last weekend and this week, you may have heard or seen the Terry Fox Run.   It was 35 years ago that he captured the hearts of all Canadians.   We watched a short video about Terry Fox and are looking at character traits.

Here is a little video that gives you more information about Terry.

ESPN Terry Fox Video

As well, here is a link for the Terry Fox movie.  It is older, but gives you more details about his character and why he is such an important hero for Canada.
