If you're a Canadian and were 12 or older in 1980, you'll likely remember hearing about this possibly crazy young guy from BC who boldly declared that he was going to run across Canada - and not just run, but run a marathon a day - because it was his dream to raise money (a dollar for every Canadian, which at the time would've been about $24M) for cancer research. If that weren't outlandish enough, get this: he would run it on one good leg and on a prosthetic leg, having lost his right one to ca
