Introduction from "Forever Terry: A Legacy in Letters"

Donna Ball was a friend and is a long-time supporter of Terry, his dream, and his legacy. A lifelong volunteer for many organizations, including the Terry Fox Foundation, she is enjoying retirement and diving into creative writing.

"Terry and I met in St. John's, where I was living and he was visiting, in the summer of 1978. When he returned to B.C., I wrote him a letter. We corresponded as pen pals through the spring of 1979 from the bookends of this great country. Here is...a letter I wrote to him on the fortieth anniversary of his Marathon of Hope."
