- I'm not a dreamer, and I'm not saying this will initiate any kind of definitive answer or cure to cancer, but I believe in miracles. I have to.
- Somewhere the hurting must stop.
- How many people do something they really believe in? I just wish people would realize that anything's possible if you try. Dreams are made if people try.
- I'm not doing the run to become rich or famous.
- It took cancer to realize that being self-centered is not the way to live. The answer is to try and help others.
- Even if I don't finish, we need others to continue. It's got to keep going without me.
- Maybe that's why I've made it as far as I have -- 2,521 miles. If I ran to a doctor every time I got a little cyst or abrasion I'd still be in Nova Scotia. Or else I'd never have started. I've seen people in so much pain. The little bit of pain I'm going through is nothing. They can't shut if off, and I can't shut down every time I feel a little sore.
- Some people can't figure out what I'm doing. It's not a walk-hop, it's not a trot, it's running, or as close as I can get to running, and it's harder than doing it on two legs. It makes me mad when people call this a walk. If I was walking than it wouldn't be anything.
- When I started this run, I said if we all gave one dollar, we'd have $22 million for cancer research, and I don't care man, there's no reason that isn't possible. No reason!
- It's one thing to run across Canada, but now people are really going to know what cancer is.
- [to an applauding crowd in Toronto] Those claps, take them for yourself. If you've given a dollar, you're part of the Marathon of Hope. That ovation was for you, wherever you are in Canada.
