See, this is what I've never understood. And not to negate what Terry Fox or Rick Hansen have done, but you really have to be be in a wheel chair or have a prosthetic leg to get any attention for any sort of ultra marathon. The Run For One Planet was done by Matt Hill and Stephanie Tait. Over the last year, they circumnavigated Canada and the USA, completing an 11,000 Mile round trip from Vancouver to Vancouver. And yet they're not even known outside of local environmental circles.
Steve Fonyo, Terry Fox, Rick Hansen have all done their thing, and we're not allowed to forget.
