The technology can test thousands of compounds at one time. For cancer especially, it's amazing how often people are finding new, potentially active drugs through that. Razak says chemotherapy has for many years been given using a "blunderbuss approach," trying different combinations in the hope of killing a patient's cancer. That's increasingly giving way to a more focused strategy, called personalized medicine, in which oncologists hope to match particular drugs to an individual, based on their genetic profile or that of their tumour.
Lambert attributes his survival to Fox, and the scientific advances spurred by the millions of dollars raised by his marathon and the annual events run in his name. I'm walking now.

I slept well than ripped off 14 more miles with a police escort. Jack Hilliard Canadian Cancer Society district rep was with us here, he is a fantastic man. I finished in Havelock. All day I had tremendous receptions. John and Edna Neale waited hours for Terry to pass by. I did an interview with Sarah Purcell from Real People. Ran all the way through Oshawa.
People lined the streets all the way. Then I had a great reception at the local mall. Simply nothing like it before. He also said that the Marathon had to continue even without him. I met my parents and Judy in a surprise meeting at 3 miles. Slept for 5 hours and then did 10 more which took me into Metro Toronto.
Again unreal reception. A cute girl Anne Marie Von Zuben with cancer gave me a rose and it broke me up. Then I ran to Nathan Phillips Square. Thousands of people cheered me on. The roads were full today and the people cheered me all the way. It is simply beyond imagination. I came back out and did 8 more. Then we drove to London where I ran 4 miles through the city to a park reception where there were thousands.
Tony Coutinho young Leukemia patient ran the final mile with me. Then I slept the day away. First of all I was stopped at 9 miles just before Guelph. Then I ran 2 miles in and spoke to a good gathering.
I had to stop and get to bed. I did 4 miles and then drove to Georgetown for a reception. Terry celebrated his 22nd birthday along with 2, other people at the Gravenhurst Civic Centre.
One of his gifts was a new artificial limb. I did 12 miles in the rain in the morning. Went to the Holiday Inn for a birthday party and a cake fight! Slept for 5 hours and then went out and did 8 more bringing me 12 short of Gravenhurst. I went to Beaver Creek prison for a reception and then a wonderful birthday party in Gravenhurst.
The morning 12 miles were good. Cool and no wind. The next 14 were hard with wind, humidity and heat. Jack Lambert had to leave today. I will miss him. I found out we had passed the half way point already and that there is something wrong with the van. Very slight but it adds up. Very tired, hot and I am worn. Made it to Sudbury. It was a good day though the final few miles were torture.
Made it to Bruce Mines. Took my break and the replaced knee was awful. Sluggish day. Struggled through 14 more miles. Took a break after 10 which put me in the Soo Sault Ste Marie. Tremendous reception here. I ran all the way non stop. Took it great. Felt good. Did 16 in a row in the afternoon. Very tired and sore at the end. Did 11 hard miles in the rain.
Made it to and past Wawa on my second run of 12 miles. Very fatigued and tired. All was perfect weather. No wind and in the afternoon my ankle started to hurt again. Greg rode his bike behind me for about 6 miles and it has to be the most inspirational moment I have had! The final 13 were hard but I made it! At night we had a beautiful reception in Terrace Bay. Exhausted and fatigued all day long.
Got a lovely beautiful poem from Rika that lifted my spirits. I feel sick tonight. He took a break and crawled into his sleeping bag, hoping the pain might subside. Terry got back up, ran another mile until he could see no more people along the road. Later that day, Terry called his parents in Port Coquitlam and told them the cancer had returned.

The story was simple but powerful. Terry Fox lost his leg to osteogenic sarcoma at age 18, underwent 16 months of treatment and found he could not ignore the suffering he witnessed in the cancer wards.
Terry decided to run across Canada to raise money for cancer research in a Marathon of Hope. He ran through snow, rain, wind, heat, humidity. He stopped in more than towns, schools and cities to talk about why he was running. He started at am in the morning, and often did not finish his last mile until 7pm at night. Sometimes Terry and Doug, his best friend and driver, would sleep in the van because they could not afford a place to stay.
Some days hundreds of people cheered him on; other days he was alone on the road, and no money was raised. Our Committee. Run Ambassadors. Institute of Cancer Research. Contact Us. Event Info. Location and Directions. Course Info and Start Time. Fun After the Run.
