On November 12, 1976, a seemingly insignificant accident changed Terry Fox's destiny forever. At 18, he learned he had osteosarcoma, a type of bone cancer. His right leg had to be amputated.

Three years later, instead of giving up, he embarked on an unthinkable challenge: running across Canada on one leg to raise money for cancer research. Every day, he covered the equivalent of a full marathon: 42 km. Every day.

After 143 days and 5,373 km, he had to stop: cancer had spread to his lungs. But not his courage. Terry Fox had already raised over $24 million. He died in 1981, at only 22 years old.

Even today, few know his face. And yet, this young Canadian has done more for humanity than most of our adored millionaire idols.

There are athletes. And there are heroes.

Im sorry but Buck being like “there’s no hot girls here, only dudes 🤬🤬🤬” in the Nashville crossover is so funny to me. Evan Buckley, we know what you are, come back to us, the bisexuals, you are loved here.

Pls never let the Nashville writers take control of LA again, those were not my sons

Sulo is working towards his Dogtorate by contributing to science. He donated a portion of his tumor to UPENN for osteosarcoma research and just got his first dose of an experimental vaccine.

Donate to Tracy's Relief Fund, organized by Tracy Akers

Dear Everyone, My name is Matthew Leistra, and I’m writing to you on behalf of my partner, Trac… Tracy Akers needs your support for T

Tracy Akers is a warrior. An osteosarcoma survivor, she lost her left leg above the knee but never her spirit. She’s always been strong, vibrant, and full of life.

A division 1 basketball star, with crushed dreams even after beating this disease, shattered after a torn ACL. Here we are with a broken prosthesis, mounting new medical complications, and a 15-year-old wheelchair that barely functions—life has become overwhelming. The bills never stop, the equipment she relies on is failing, and she’s struggling to stay above water.

Tracy has given so much to the people around her. Her resilience and energy have inspired everyone lucky enough to know her. Now she needs us.

Let’s help her reclaim her independence. Let’s help her live again.

Please donate or share if you can. Every bit helps, even if it’s just a dollar - to revive the beautiful spirit we all love.

If you cannot donate, I ask you to share her story. She deserves so much and has fought so hard and I refuse to let or watch her sink. I want to see her smiling and on her feet again. Anyone that really knows her and loves her, wants the same.

Thank you. <3
