"""I know how much of an impact Terry had on my life and I know he inspired millions more, but this book digs even deeper with raw emotion from everyone he encountered. This book shows why Terry is a hero. These stories give a great example of how he treated and inspired everyone he met."" -- Jay Triano, former NBA head coach of the Toronto Raptors ""Terry Fox is my hero. I will always admire his humility and courage. Terry continues to inspire me and so many others every day."" -- Darryl Sittler, Hockey Hall of Fame NHL player from 1970-85 ""This book shows why the Terry Fox story never fades. It's a real-life drama driven by a dream in a mission of hope. Canadian to its core."" -- Lloyd Robertson, Canadian national news anchor from 1970 to 2011 ""In this immersive and intimate oral history, coaches, fellow athletes, childhood friends, family, and those who opened their homes and hearts to Terry as he ran, reveal -- some for the first time -- his astonishing drive, compassion, and sweetness of character. His great dream, now closing in on a billion dollars raised for cancer research, still speaks to us today."" -- Leslie Scrivener, author of Terry: His Story ""Hope by Terry Fox gives us a masterful look into the character and life of Terry Fox, the human. These personal stories of Terry, as told by those closest to him, will remind us that we can overcome obstacles, be the best we can be with what we have, and make a difference along the way.
