I fell down the YT rabbit hole and ended up at the story of Terry Fox. For those who don't know, Terry had a leg amputated in 1980, and then set about a run across Canada (not the short way either), to raise money for cancer research. Unfortunately, he didn't make it, and died after reaching Thunder Bay. However, his dream lives on in multiple Terry Fox runs around the world generating millions to combat cancer. It's a story that still chokes me up now. Here's the link for his story, also check out Steve Fonyo, and Rick Hansen, more Canadian heroes doing insane things for great causes.
