Terry Fox, who attempted to run across Canada to raise money for cancer research after losing his leg the year before. Since his death, donations in his name have totalled around 300 million pounds. This video clip of his story is simple awe-inspiring. If you have never heard his name or know what he did, I really do urge you to spend 9mins and have a look https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xjgTlCTluPA

Ooh I could crush a grape. A well known Canadian turn of phrase.
I'll go with Avril, liked quite a few of her songs in the noughties.
