September is the time of the annual Terry Fox Run. There’s a new tribute song just in time.
On September 1, 1980, the one-legged Terry Fox had to stop his cross-Canada marathon near Thunder Bay, 143 days after he began. The cancer that took his leg had returned and Terry died in June 1981, a month short of his 23rd birthday.

As a result of COVID-19, this year’s runs have/will be virtual. There’s also a new song dedicated to Terry by Vic Macina. Here it is.
