The Terry Fox run will take place 5th period today. Please wait until you are called down to make your way to the Met Field. Teachers can you ask your students if anyone has brought in a loonie or toonie to support cancer research. When you are down at the track you can find one of the grade 8s who are handing “I am running for stickers” These stickers are for individuals who you know have battled cancer. If you do not know anyone you can have your sticker say, “I am running for Terry”
On September 1st, after 143 days and 5,373 kilometres (3,339 miles), Terry was forced to stop running outside of Thunder Bay, Ontario. The only thing that could have stopped him did: cancer had appeared in his lungs. Even from Terry’s hospital bed, he continued to talk about the importance of donating to cancer research. He asked Canadians to continue to support his Marathon of Hope; he hoped his second diagnosis would help everyone understand that cancer could happen to anyone, even someone who had just raised over $1.7 million for research.
