Darrell Fox was only 17 years old when he accompanied his older brother, Terry, on what would become the most famous run in Canadian history.
Last week — 45 years after Terry Fox was forced to end his Marathon of Hope near Thunder Bay — Darrell Fox completed a monumental journey of his own.
He and a group of fellow cyclists pedalled from coast to coast (a 32-day journey that spanned more than 7,000 km) and raised more than $1 million for cancer research along the way.
Now back home in British Columbia, Darrell took some time to join our ‘Closer Look’ podcast for an emotional conversation about hope, his iconic brother, and the immeasurable legacy he left behind.
Every Canadian knows the story of Terry Fox. But no one had a closer view than his little brother.
