Dr. Jack Taunton was appointed to the Order of Canada in June .

He died on Wednesday after a battle with cancer.

Dr. Robin D’Abreo says Jack 's impact on the world may never be accurately totalled.

D'Arey : " Jack 's done more in terms of his impact. He’s done more".

At 6 , he contracted polio, resulting in paralysis of his right arm and leg.

After he recovered from that disease, a car struck him while he was on a bike ride, fracturing his foot and leg. “When I got out of my cast, I went crazy. I played football, soccer, and then I started running,” Taunton said.
