Why Hello There!
Here we go again!

Just kidding :p

Well, it’s the 24^th of April and the letter for the A to Z challenge today is T.

And I write you a poem about one of my heroes, Terry Fox (July 28, 1958 – June 28, 1981) . 

The young Canadian athlete who in 1880 and with only one leg, embarked on a cross-Canada marathon to raise money and awareness for cancer research.

Terry suffered osteosarcoma. His leg was amputated as a result on 1977.

First time I heard of Terry was 6 or 7 years ago. I watched a movie, The Terry Fox Story, it was early in the morning.

I remember crying so much that day. He was forced to stop after 143 days, because of the cancer spreading , and eventually died. He was only 22 years old.

And it did Terry

And this is what fascinates me the most :)

Today his legacy continues in many forms including the annually Terry Fox Run, the world's largest one-day fundraiser for cancer research; according to Wikipedia; over $650 million has been raised in his name. One day I’ll run that marathon.

And as always when I find anything interesting I googled all I can about this brave young man. And the more I read about him the more I admired him.

Since then Terry became one of the knights in my tableround.

For you Terry.

Help us breath

Animals live in them

Thank you.

Cinquain is a non-rhyming 5-lined poem pioneered by Adelaide Crapsey (1878 - 1914). There are many ways to write it, weather relaying on the number of words or syllables in each line, which makes it always end up in a diamond-like shape. In this A to Z challenge I will be following the two and sometimes a mix of both types. I’ll also add some cute cinquains by my grade 4 talented students. Hope you enjoy our poetry.
