Who is popular today?

Like many, I feel deep admiration for Terry Fox and consider him a national treasure. Through the years, people have shared that he was an unmatched inspiration to them, including a phys ed teacher who was a teenager at the time. Describing himself as forlorn, inactive and overweight, he watched The Marathon of Hope unfold and ‘got up off the couch, started running and never stopped.’ He built an entire career around helping others know the benefits of staying fit and engaged, and he always ensures they know who his lifelong mentor was.
