Title: Halton Hills Lecture Series - Barbara Adhiya: Hope by Terry Fox
Venue: John Elliott Theatre
Halton Hills Lecture Series - Barbara Adhiya: Hope by Terry Fox

Featuring excerpts from Terry's very own Marathon of Hope journal, Hope by Terry Fox shares the untold story of a well-known hero -the goofy, resilient, and courageous 21- year-old who rallied a nation behind his mission. After conducting over fifty interviews with people throughout Terry's life, editor Barbara Adhiya discovers how Terry was able to run a marathon a day. Through their stories, passages from Terry's marathon journal, and over 200 photos and documents, Hope by Terry Fox shows that with enough resilience, determination, humility, and support, ordinary people can do impossible things. Barbara Adhiya is an editor and author based in Toronto. She was an editor at CP/AP and Reuters. She was a contributing author for Making It in High Heels 3: Innovators and Trailblazers and was an editor for Expect Miracles by Dr. Joe Vitale.
