From start to finish, this book tells a story of spellbinding intensity, intimacy and honesty. Readers witness Terry's young life, the illness that cost him a leg, his decision to rise above his fate and his cross Canada run that won the hearts of a nation. And then, after his too-early death, came the creation and growth of Terry's legacy, to raise money to find a cure for cancer so that others might live.

Includes never-before-seen photos and objects from Terry Fox's life.
