“The premiere of this movie was attended by many of Terry Foxu0026#39;s wheelchair basketball team members. It was an emotional event to say the least. I never knew Terry, I arrived in Vancouver shortly after his death, but I took part in the first Terry Fox Run in 1982 and got myself plastered on every front page from coast to coast the following day. Terry Fox was a real person faced with a situation millions of people face everyday, he showed tenacity in the face of adversity and inspired many since – myself included. u0026gt;”
