To commemorate the 40th anniversary of the Marathon of Hope, Adidas has launched a Terry Fox tribute collection that includes the same blue sneaker, the Adidas Orion, that Fox wore throughout his attempt to run across Canada. Adidas says the gear, exclusive to Canada, will be available May 20, with 100 per cent of net proceeds donated to The Terry Fox Foundation to support cancer research.
Adidas has been with Fox since before his epic journey began.
Fox wrote to the apparel company before he started the Marathon of Hope in 1980 asking for help, and Adidas obliged by sending him 26 pairs of Orion shoes for his run.
The 40th Terry Fox Run is scheduled for this September 20th, thanks again Terry!
