鈥淪o, every day is a great day to be associated and linked to Terry鈥檚 legacy,鈥� he said.

When asked on this edition of Today in BC what impact and progress the more than $800 million raised since 1980 has had, Fox said: 鈥淚f Terry were diagnosed today, not only is there a really good chance that he would survive, but there鈥檚 also the possibility that he wouldn鈥檛 have lost his leg to cancer.鈥�

Darrell accompanied his brother on the road for the Marathon of Hope, 42 years ago.

鈥淗e was he was average in every way,鈥� said Darrell. 鈥淗e was an average student. He was an average athlete. But look what he accomplished.鈥�

Darrell Fox expects more than 9,000 schools to take part in the various 2022 Terry Fox fundraisers, and expects more than 10,000 events to be held this year.

More than 50,000 pieces of memorabilia from the Marathon of Hope are currently in storage.

鈥淚 think we鈥檇 very much like to maybe have a few artifacts on display,鈥� said Fox. 鈥淏ut if we could share the artifacts in a virtual way, that is a way as well. So there would be a need in terms of resources.鈥�
