This translation has been automatically generated and has not been verified for accuracy.Rick Fall, shown in this recent handout image, spent every day of the last three and a half months running roughly the equivalent of a full marathon as he trekked from British Columbia to Ontario. The 61-year-old has been making the gruelling journey to raise funds for young cancer patients and was set to end his run in Sault Ste. Marie, Ont., on Saturday.

The longtime runner said he wanted to follow in the footsteps of Canadian icon Terry Fox, who lost a leg to cancer before embarking on his “Marathon of Hope” run across the country. Fall’s mother and niece both died of cancer. A retired teacher, Fall said he also met many children with cancer over the course of his career.
