"Before Terry Fox became a national hero for running the Marathon of Hope with a prosthetic leg, he was just a regular kid. In fact, he barely made his elementary school basketball team - he was the smallest in the group! . . . [But t]he qualities that have made Terry a hero - his strength, determination, and loyalty - were apparent even then . . . Over the years, [Terry and his friend, Doug Alward,] supported, challenged and helped each other become better athletes and better people." -- adapted from jacket.
