I am sure most people have heard of Terry Fox, a young cancer survivor who developed bone cancer and had his left leg removed as a result. After recovering, he vowed to “run” 3000 miles across Canada to raise money and awareness for cancer research and support. His story was so inspiring, a middle aged survivor of cyrrhosis of the liver vowed to “drink” his way across the greater Pittsburg area, or die trying.
He started early one morning in his local bar, The Crow Bar, right at opening time. Worked his way east towards the downtown area, never stopping to eat, and only stopping once to drop off a few friends at the pool in a bar “he never liked much anyway….” Then, around closing time, in the last bar in the area, he completed his goal and then stumbled out into the parking lot and threw up in his hat.
