I still remember because I was about 14 when he died and I signed up to run in the Terry Fox Marathon, went door to door and raised money for it. A teacher was supposed to drive me to it on a Saturday, and he never showed up, and I had to get my dad to give up a morning of work to grab me and get me down, it was a great experience, and there were a ton of runners and I think it raised a wack of money.

A agree with you Trout. Hero is as over used as the term franchise player or GOAT or other terms.

Terry Fox and Rick Hanson to me were major hero's and if we're looking to replace statues, there's two names alone that transcend and should inspire.
