Robert’s second drawing after learning that he has Hodgkins’ Disease, a cancer of the lymphatic system. The artist searches for inspiring role models at a difficult time and pictures Terry Fox, the Canadian hero and cancer patient who runs across Canada, after the amputation of one of his legs. The quote at the bottom of the page reads: “To me you have to be stronger. I know that especially since I’ve been through what I went through with cancer. Life is now more rewarding and more challenging because I’m doing it on one leg. I don’t know – just walking, playing golf, running– there is just something when you do it. You feel more satisfied. I feel more satisfied than I did before. I try harder than I did before.” –Terry Fox interviewed by Judy Webb in Toronto.
