The Van of a Hero in front of my eyes

When I was younger, we watched the courageous Marathon of Hope of Terry Fox from the small, black and white TV set in our school and the even smaller grainy coloured TV at home. I came across THE VAN on display , anchoring an installation about the life of a Canadian hero, Terry Fox.

The very van we watched slowly driving along the highway, leading the man as he ran day in and day out, raising money and awareness for cancer. To this very day, millions of children across Canada still run in his honour in September, continuing his quest to raise money to end cancer.
