Terry was pursuing a degree in kinesiology at Simon Fraser University when he started training for the Marathon of Hope. He knew the importance of eating right, sleeping, and tracking his progress. Terry kept a detailed journal, logging every mile he ran while training...
His best friend, Doug Alward, was amused by Terry’s newfound passion for running. "I tried to get him out for the cross country running team in high school, but he'd always rather play basketball or soccer....
...Yet three years later, he's calling me with this idea of running across Canada for cancer research. I almost dropped the phone. I said, 'Terry, I couldn't get you to run 20 minutes on two legs, and now you want to run a marathon a day across the country?”
Doug remembers the early days of training. "At first, Terry would fall down quite a bit, but he never gave up. He was smart enough to know that if he kept working on something and getting advice from trainers, he could figure out how to do it."
