He remenbers a story about a man with one leg in the New York Marathon. "I can run across Canada for money." His mother opposed his idea, but he dosen't listen. Terry calls his run, the "Marathon of Hope." It is a long road. From St. John's to Port Renfrew is 5,300 miles (8, 530 km). Terry can't start in 1977. But early in 1979. He is running every day. One year later, he is strong again. Terry's marathon starts at St. John's, Newfoundland, on April 12, 1980. His friend, Doug Alward, is his river. Terry runs in the day. At night, he sleeps in the car.
The marathon starts well.Terry says, "Newfoundland has two things" and "the ocean and people." He likes running near water, and the people are very friendly. He and Doug don't always sleep in the car. They often stay in house or hotels. People don't take money from them.

Today, there are Terry Fox Runs around the world. In the same week in September every year, people run and remenber "Canada's hero." Terry is dead, but his message is always with us.

After finished this book, I wept. I was so moved, because of his brave and patience. My aquitance is running the marathon. She had cancer many years ago, but she began to marathon. She got a lot of prize. Now, she challenges the Urutra Marathon.

I read this book. The title is "Goldfish".
The story is as follows.

The main character is Carmady. He is a private detective. He works alone, and there's enough crime in the city of Los Angels to keep him busy most of the time. He makes mistakes - who doesn't it?- but all the bullets have missed him so far.
When Kathy Horne comes into his office with a story about the long -lost Leander pearls, Carmady dosen't think much of it at first. But Kathy's a freind. There's a $25'ooo reward for anyone who finds the pealrls, and kathy needs some money for when her husband gets out of prison. So, Carmady goes on listening.
There's a guy called Peeler Mardo, Kathy says. He was in prison one time and he met the guy who stole the Leather pearls from the mail-car. And this guy, Wally Sｙpe, had too much to drink one night and told Peeler where the pearls were hidden.
So, Carmady goes to talk too much, Carmady realizes, and it's a long journey, a lot of bullets, a lot of dead bodies, before anyone gets near those pearls.

At first, I really thought that this book's picture is very beautiful. I found the picure gold fish, but this photo is so beaty.
When you read this book, please look at the cover:) or, you will have fun!!
