Forty-five years ago this month, one of the most amazing athletic endeavors in the history of humankind came to a sad end when Terry Fox had to stop his Marathon of Hope in Thunder Bay. His cancer had returned. Nine months later, he was gone. Yet more than any other Canadian in recent decades, his strength and memory endure.

To commemorate this, The Tragically Hip have released a special version of “Courage” on numbered, limited-edition vinyl done with composer Jonas Bonnetta. It’s available here for just $30.
