Terry
Fox is one of Canada's most famous athletes. He was born in 1958 in Winnipeg.
Terry became famous after his effort to run across Canada in 1980. He named the
project "Marathon of hope" and started from the west coast of Canada
in 1980. He had suffered from cancer for several years earlier and had to
amputate his left leg. He trained himself for many months and wanted to
complete the run to spread awareness around cancer research and to raise money.
He had to give up after 143 days of running. Only one year after he died.
Mahatma Gandhi was an Indian peace-activist. Gandhi was born 1869 and was married to Kastruba Gandhi. He began his activism as an Indian immigrant in South Africa in the early 1900s, and in the years following World War I he became the leading figure in India’s struggle to gain independence from Great Britain. Gandhi`s main goal was to achieve equal rights for the citizens of India without using violence.
The similarities between Fox and Gandhi are that they both fought with all their heart for what they believed in. They wanted change and equality for all in their society. They both brought hope and joy in a gloom and sad world that characterized people’s everyday life. They gave hope of a brighter future to their fellow human beings.
Karpe Diem is a famous Norwegian rap duo. Recently they released their EP "heisann mintobell" with a strong focus on contemporary problems in our society, in particular the world’s refugee crisis. All of these heroes fight for change, trying to wake up people, to end injustice and promote a better world. They do what most of us don`t dare to do. They speak to the people, for the people.
