The reproduction of the very shoe Terry wore during his Marathon of Hope will greatly enhance our fundraising efforts while reminding Canadians of his noble dream to end the suffering that cancer causes.

Terry asked for $1 from every Canadian in 1980, so it's fitting that his image now graces the $1 coin.

It's a piece of Terry and we cherish it obviously but we know it's in good hands. We always know we can go and look at it if we want to, and we have others as well.

I'm so proud to think that 25 years after Terry started this marathon, people are showing up and still believing in what he started,

Terry's concept was that anyone who gave a dollar was part of the Marathon of Hope.

He was the first person I met in pro ball because we both wore a size 14 shoe. He had interesting comments on exactly how far to stand away from the plate. He introduced me to the importance of being prepared for everything that you do. I took that in, on calling games and accepting responsibilities as a catcher.
