Summary

Thirteen year-old Winston MacDonald -in trouble again after a suspension from school and a runaway attempt - is sent to spend time with his father -a journalist who hasn't been around much since his family split up. Travelling to Nova Scotia with his father, who is covering what he thinks is just a human interest story about a man trying to run across the country, Winston meets Terry Fox and his best friend, Doug Alward. Their determination to achieve what seems like an impossible goal makes a big impression on Winston, and he takes courage and inspiration from Terry's run. This first book for young readers about Terry and the Marathon of Hope is a blend of fact and fiction and is fully endorsed by the Terry Fox Foundations and Terry's family. All of Eric Walter's royalties will be donated to the Terry Fox Foundation
