They don't come out often, but Canada finally has another Heritage Minutes clip, this time about Terry Fox.

Released on YouTube Wednesday, it shows cancer research activist Terry Fox in the middle of his Marathon of Hope run across Canada. 

In the video, an actor playing Fox narrates, "Sometimes it feels endless, but the pain I feel is nothing. I've seen little kids in so much pain. Somewhere the hurting must stop. "

The series of minute-long vignettes showcases important moments in Canada's history, and have been on the air since 1991. In 2014, Historica Canada released specials on two fathers of Confederation: John A. Macdonald and George-Étienne Cartier.
