Terry Fox disagrees.
How did that "Miracle" and Papal Intervention, combined with the other millions of empty headed morons "praying" for Terry Fox work out? HAHAHHAHHAH 
DeathIn the following months, Fox received multiple chemotherapy treatments; however, the disease continued to spread.[58]
As his condition worsened, Canadians hoped for a miracle and Pope John Paul II sent a telegram saying that he was praying for Fox.[59] Doctors turned to experimental interferon treatments, though their effectiveness against osteogenic sarcoma was unknown.[60] He suffered an adverse reaction to his first treatment,[61] but continued the program after a period of rest.[62]
Fox was re-admitted to the New Westminster hospital on June 19, 1981, with chest congestion and developed pneumonia.[63] He fell into a coma and died at 4:35 a.m. PDT on June 28, 1981, with his family by his side.[64] The Government of Canada ordered flags across the country lowered to half mast, an unprecedented honour that was usually reserved for statesmen.[65] Addressing the House of Commons, Trudeau said, "It occurs very rarely in the life of a nation that the courageous spirit of one person unites all people in the celebration of his life and in the mourning of his death ... We do not think of him as one who was defeated by misfortune but as one who inspired us with the example of the triumph of the human spirit over adversity".[66]
His funeral, attended by 40 relatives and 200 guests,[66] was broadcast on national television; hundreds of communities across Canada also held memorial services.[67] A public memorial service was held on Parliament Hill in Ottawa,[68] and Canadians again overwhelmed Cancer Society offices with donations.[69]
