Born July 28, Terry Fox 1958-1981,
marathoner, was born on this day at Winnipeg in 1958. Terry lost a leg to bone cancer in 1977 and started his cross-Canada 'Marathon of Hope' in St. John's on April 12, 1980 to raise money to fight the disease. Before he had to end the marathon Sept 1 in Thunder Bay, when cancer was discovered in his lungs, he had run almost 5400 km, and raised over $1.7 million. He gave up his fight on June 28, 1981 in New Westminster, BC, but thousands of Canadians run every year in his memory.

In 1925, a court in Indiana ordered a motorist who had run over & killed a pedestrian to spend an hour with the body.
Now that's what I call a punishment!
