To mark the 40th anniversary of the Marathon of Hope, Forever Terry- A Legacy in Letters comprises 40 letters from 40 contributors recounting the inspiration, dedication, and perseverance that Terry Fox embodied, and gives voice to an icon whose example spoke much louder than his words. Edited by Terry' s younger brother Darrell Fox on behalf of the Fox family, contributors range from Margaret Atwood, Bobby Orr, Jann Arden, and Christine Sinclair, to the police officers who escorted Terry on his run. Their reflections, which reveal connections between inspiring Canadians that readers will never have expected, appear alongside never-before-seen photos of Terry. Forever Terry is a testament to the influence Terry Fox has had on the shape of Canadian dreams, ambitions, and commitment to helping others. Royalties from the sale of Forever Terry will support the Terry Fox Foundation, which has raised almost $800 million dollars for cancer research. Contributors include Hayley Wickenheiser, Darryl Sittler, Shawn Ashmore, Doug Alward, Douglas Coupland, Rick Hansen, Lloyd Robertson, Bret Hart, Leslie Scrivener, Isadore Sharp, Jim Pattison, Catriona Le May Doan, Malindi Elmore, Silken Laumann, Steve Nash, and Marissa Papaconstantinou, among many others.
DARRELL FOX is the younger brother of Terry Fox. In late May 1980, at the age of 17, Darrell joined Terry (and Terry' s best friend Doug Alward) on his Marathon of Hope in Saint John, New Brunswick. Darrell has had a long history of involvement with the legacy founded by his brother beyond spending 4 months in a smelly Ford Econoline van witnessing Terry take on the impossible. In 1990, Darrell became the provincial director for The Terry Fox Foundation in British Columbia. In 1994, he moved to the National Office in Toronto, Ontario where he served as the assistant national director and then national director of the Terry Fox Foundation from January 1996 until June 2009. Today Darrell serves on the TFRI' s Board of Directors, is a Senior Advisor to the Institute and along with fellow descendants of Betty and Rolly Fox is a member of both the Terry Fox Foundation and Terry Fox Research Institute. A holder of the Queen' s Diamond Jubilee Medal, Darrell continues to be involved in fundraising, story and recognition initiatives related to Terry Fox and his legacy.
