That's certainly the case for Darrell Darrell Fox, the Terry Fox Run national director, who shared his memories of his brother's historic journey during during a breakfast to recognize the corporate corporate teams that took part in last year's Terry Fox Bowmanville run. At the event, Mr. Fox spoke of the inspiration he carries with him even today. "I feel I have the most rewarding job in the world to represent my brother and share his story 21 years later," he said. "I will never be able to find the words. I know for the rest • of my life I'll shake my head when I think what Terry has done." Mr. Fox recalled how in 1980, Terry set out at the age of 21 to run across Canada to raise awareness and money for cancer research. When he joined his brother on the run, Mr. Fox recalled, "Little did I know I'd be in for the adventure of a „ lifetime." < Mr. Fox recounted how Terry got - up every morning at 4:30 a.m„ run- /- ning an average of 26 miles through ■;■ the day and then finishing with \ speaking engagements, sometimes . ; as much as an hour's drive away in ■ the evening, before returning to ! begin all over again the next day. i During those evenings in dil'fer- ent towns, Mr. Fox said, he heard his I> brother give essentially the same ■ ! speech more than 100 times.

During that time, related Mr. ; f Fox, more has been learned about vcancer "than in the centuries since the symbol for cancer was written ' on the tombs in Egypt. "If Terry was alive today, he would have over an 80 per cent ' chance to live." When he was diagnosed diagnosed in the late 1970s, he was given only a 35 per cent chance at beating the disease. • v Terry travelled through six ■ ^provinces before he was forced to quit the run when cancer spread to his lungs.

Nuclear Waste Management As part of our nuclear waste management program, used fuel bundles have been safely stored in water-filled bays at the station for at least ten years. OPG would like to transfer these bundles into large concrete and steel storage containers and then place them in on-site storage buildings specifically built for this purpose. This is similar technology already approved and being used at OPG's Pickering Nuclear station, and is approved and under construction at OPG's waste management facility in Bruce County. As part of the planning and approval process for this proposed facility, OPG has begun the preparations of an Environmental Assessment (FA). This is where we need your help.
