Samon Fraser University. Terry Fox memorial.

Terry was only 18 years old when he was diagnosed with bone cancer and forced to have his right leg amputated six inches above the knee in 1977. While in hospital, Terry was so overcome by the suffering of other cancer patients, many of them young children, that he decided to run across Canada to raise money for cancer research. He would call his journey the Marathon of Hope. After 18 months and running over 5,000 kilometers to prepare, Terry started his run in St. John’s, Newfoundland on April 12, 1980 with little fanfare. Although it was difficult to garner attention in the beginning, enthusiasm soon grew, and the money collected along his route began to mount. He ran 42 kilometers a day through Canada's Atlantic provinces, Quebec and Ontario. However, on September 1st, after 143 days and 5,373 kilometers, Terry was forced to stop running outside of Thunder Bay, Ontario because cancer had appeared in his lungs. An entire nation was stunned and saddened. Terry passed away on June 28, 1981 at age 22.
To date, almost $300 million has been raised for cancer research in Terry's name through the annual Terry Fox Run, held across Canada and around the world.

After Stanley Park, Queen Elizabeth Park is  the most visited park in Vancouver. Vancouver oasis, it is sitting one of the highest points in the city of Vancouver (150m), known as Little Mountain. The cone of the ancient volcano   has been transformed into huge sunken rock gardens with ponds and waterfalls at every level.
The most popular spot although for taking newly weds photos.
