ESPN Films 30 for 30: Into The Wind

Three years after having his right leg amputated six inches above the knee, Terry Fox fought bone cancer and deep despair in pursuit of a singular, motivating vision: to run across Canada. In 1980, he set out to cover more than a marathon’s distance each day until he reached the shores of Victoria, British Columbia. Anonymous at the start of his journey, Fox steadily captured the heart of a nation with his marathon of hope, raising awareness and funds for cancer research. After 143 days and two-thirds of the way across Canada, with the eyes of a country watching, Fox’s journey came to an abrupt end when newly discovered tumors took over his body. Two-time NBA MVP, proud Canadian, and first-time filmmaker, Steve Nash, will share Fox’s incredible story of perseverance and hope.
