In 1980, who ran the 'Marathon of Hope'?

Steve Fonyo
Terry Fox
Rick Hansen
Paul Henderson

The correct answer is: Terry Fox

Terry Fox, a Canadian athlete, ran the 'Marathon of Hope' in 1980 to raise awareness and funds for cancer research. He started his journey in St. John's, Newfoundland and aimed to run across Canada, totaling over 5,300 miles. Unfortunately, he had to end his marathon in Thunder Bay, Ontario due to his cancer recurring. Despite not completing his incredible feat, Fox's determination and bravery inspired many people, and the 'Marathon of Hope' continues to be a symbol of hope and strength. Option A, Steve Fonyo, also ran across Canada in the following years, but is not the correct answer for the 1980 marathon. Option C, Rick Hansen, attempted his own epic journey by wheeling around the world to raise awareness for spinal cord injury. Option D, Paul Henderson, is a former Canadian ice hockey player who achieved fame for scoring the game-winning goal in the final game of the 1972 Summit Series. While all these individuals have admirable accomplishments, they were not the ones who ran the 'Marathon of Hope' in 1980.
