Details:
In 1980, after losing a leg to cancer, Terry Fox began an epic journey running across Canada to raise money for cancer research. After 143 days and 5,373 kilometres (a marathon a day), Terry was forced to stop the run on September 1, 1980 outside of Thunder Bay, Ontario. The cancer had appeared in his lungs. Terry passed away on June 28, 1981. He was only 22, yet his selflessness, his compassion and his tenacity were superhuman and belied his years.
The more I learned about this amazing young man, the more compelled I was to capture his story in song. The result is "Run Fox Run". It incorporates a sampled recording of Terry''s unique "fox trot". In a sense, Terry is running in and out of the song. I have decided to make the tune available as a digital download and I will donate all net proceeds to the Terry Fox foundation. Enjoy the music and keep Terry''s spirit running on.
