特里·福克斯：奔跑的希望
Terry Fox : Marathon Of Hope
senior year, he even shared an Athlete of the Year award with his buddy Doug.
After graduating from high school, he went on to college at Simon Fraser University（西门莎菲大学）, which had the best basketball team in British Columbia（不列颠哥伦比亚省）. Making the team would be another challenge, but that was just fine with Terry.
In November of his first year at college, he crashed his car. Terry wasn’t hurt badly in the crash, but his knee felt sore. He didn’t tell anyone about the pain. He thought his knee was hurting from basketball practice.
By late winter, however, he was limping. His mother took him to the doctor. The news was terrible. The source of Terry’s leg pain was a rare form of cancer（癌症）. The cause was unknown, but Terry had a type of cancer that could spread quickly and be deadly.
Terry was angry and fearful when he first heard the news. He went through many different feelings as his life quickly changed. He went to hospital, and his right leg was removed 15 centimeters above the knee. Doctors hoped this would keep the cancer from spreading. No one could say for sure, however, that the cancer wouldn’t return.

While working through these changes, Terry learned to let go of his anger. He met so many other cancer patients in the hospital that he realized he wasn’t alone in his struggle（挣扎）.
Like other cancer survivors, Terry faced the chance that his cancer could return. He came up with a
plan to help in the search for a cure（方法）for the disease. He was going to run across Canada. As he ran, people could give money for cancer 读高二时，他甚至和好友道格一起成为了当年的优秀运动员。
高中毕业后，特里考入西门莎菲大学，那里有不列颠哥伦比亚省最棒的篮球队。特里再一次将进入校队列为必须达成的目标，那是一个挑战。
上大一那年的11月，特里经历了一场车祸。当时他的身体并无大碍，只是感到右膝酸痛。他只当那是在篮球训练中受伤造成的，并未告诉任何人。
然而，来年春天，特里开始无法正常行走。母亲带他去医院检查，结果简直是惊天噩耗。特里腿痛的根源是一种罕见的癌症。病因尚不清楚，但那是一种癌细胞可以迅速扩散并致命的癌症。
当第一次听到这个消息时，特里愤怒与恐惧的情绪接踵而至。特里的生活发生了翻天覆地的变化。他住进了医院，做了截肢手术，右膝盖上方15厘米以下的部分被切除。医生希望这样可以阻止癌细胞的扩散，但没人有百分之百的把握，保证癌症不会复发。

Terry crossed province after province, running the distance of a marathon each day. Each week of running was draining. Terry’s spirits were lifted when his younger brother, Darrell, joined him on the trip. Growing crowds also made him happy.

In the end, Terry wasn’t able to beat the disease, and on June 28, 1981, he passed away（离世）. Although Terry never finished the Marathon of Hope, the run met his goals, raising an amazing $24 million. Millions of people learned about the need to find cures for different types of cancer.

最终，特里没能战胜病魔，于1981年6月28日离世。尽管“希望马拉松”没能按原先的计划完成，但筹款数额远远超过了预期，达到令人惊讶的2400万美元。数百万民众因为这场义跑意识到癌症研究的紧迫性。
特里与癌症的斗争并未跟随他逝去的生命一同结束。如今，以他的名字命名的特里·福克斯基金会持续在为癌症研究募集资金。特里的故事仍然激励着人们为此项事业不断奋斗。从那之后的每一年，特里·福克斯长跑运动在加拿大和全球其他国家继续举办，直到今天。
