Terry Fox personally raised over $24 million during his Marathon of Hope run across Canada in 1980. After his passing, the ongoing efforts of the Terry Fox Foundation and the annual Terry Fox Runs have raised over $900 million for cancer research globally to date. Initially, Fox aimed to raise $1 million, but the goal was increased to $25 million as support surged during his run. His fundraising was amplified by a nationwide telethon and continued donations after his death, with more than $23 million raised by April 1981 alone. The Terry Fox legacy continues to generate significant funds for cancer research through annual events in many communities worldwide.
