Terry Fox was eighteen years old when he was told that he had cancer and that his leg would have to be amputated. He accepted the verdict with courage and grace. "Nobody is ever going to call me a quitter," he said.

On April 12, 1980, starting in St. John's, Newfoundland, Terry embarked upon the cross-country run he called the Marathon of Hope. He wanted to raise a million dollars for cancer research. It was an extraordinary undertaking for an unknown young man with an artificial leg. His prosthesis, by modern standards, was rudimentary: every time it struck the ground, it hurt him. The weather was often harsh and some drivers tried to run him off the road. But he persevered. Every day for 143 days he ran the near-equivalent of a marathon (26 miles). When he got to Ontario, all of Canada was watching and cheering him on.

The cancer returned and ended his run on September 1, 1980. But he raised not only just $1 million, but $24 million before he died. And in the years since then, tens of millions more have been raised, in Canada and around the world, in Terry's name, to combat the disease that took his life.

Leslie Scrivener was a reporter assigned to follow Terry's progress. In writing his story, she drew on his diaries and interviews with Terry, his friends and family. She has completely revised and updated the text to take into account the amazing growth of Terry's legacy. This is the authentic, inspiring account of the magnificent achievement of a Canadian hero.

Bedsure has impressed me again.
Size: King (104" x 90"), Color: Linen (No Comforter), Size: King (104" x 90"), Color: Linen (No Comforter)
Giving this a five star because it’s the millionth Bedsure bedding I have bought for my home. I absolutely love this company for its affordability and the quality of their products. I recently purchased the Mellow temp control duvet and needed a good quality cover. I immediately went to bedside and found this baby. It’s 100% organic cotton, you can verify it with the cards that are included and the color is perfect! I ordered the King size in the color Linen for my queen size bed because I like my comforters to hang off the sides. Out of the package, the cover was soft and has zero smell. I did wash it as instructed on a cold wash with both detergent and softener then dried on a no heat tumble for about 50 mins x I wouldn’t say this is wrinkle resistance right out of the dryer but the minimal wrinkles do not bother me as I’m sure it will smoothen out overtime. The quality of this feels soooo good, I can not wait to jump into bed later. Nothing makes me happier than a comfy cool bed and cool room at nights. I love that this has a zipper instead of buttons or ties. It gives the bedding a more cohesive look. My husband is not easily impressed with bedding the way I am and his comment was “this is so soft”. As you can see in the photo, my cat immediately took up residence on the bed as soon as I made it up.

Organic, Soft and Luxurious
Size: Queen (90" x 90"), Color: Linen (No Comforter)
This 100% organic cotton duvet cover is luxurious! It is GOTS certified, Oeko Tex Standard 100 certified, and even comes with its own birth certificate! The birth certificate shares the duvet’s name, place of birth, official badges and health status, personality, and fun facts! What’s not to love? If you want a duvet that is organic, soft and luxurious, I highly recommend this one. Bedsure even included 2 pillow cases.
