Terry Fox was diagnosed with his second cancer in 1983, about three years after his initial diagnosis of osteosarcoma and the subsequent amputation of his right leg. This recurrence occurred while he was on his cross-country Marathon of Hope, which he began in April 1980 to raise awareness and funds for cancer research. Despite his battle with cancer, Fox's determination and spirit inspired many, and his legacy continues to influence cancer research and fundraising efforts today.
