Hundreds of runners and walkers in Assiniboine Park kicked off the 43rd annual Terry Fox Run Sunday, with Terry Fox's own brother leading the pack.
Sunday Was Fred Fox's first run in Winnipeg – the city where he and his siblings were born. He said he still remembers when his younger brother decided to run across the country to raise funds for cancer research.
"When Terry said he was going to do something, he usually did it. So I kind of took it for granted that he was going to run across Canada," he said, adding their mom was not so sure about it.
"She thought it was a crazy idea. She tried to encourage him just to run through B.C., but Terry's answer was, 'Mom, not only people in B.C. get cancer. People right across the country do. I have to run across Canada.'"
Terry Fox started his Marathon of Hope on April 12, 1980, starting on the Atlantic coast and running 5,373 kilometres before a return of cancer forced him to stop in Thunder Bay.
He died on June 28, 1981.
