30th edition of Terry Fox Run set for Sunday It was July 24, 1980. As I drove up the Norval hill, just outside Georgetown, I saw the flash of a police car. ...Then I noticed a second cruiser and the outline of a man hopping down the highway. In shock, I knew that it had to be Terry Fox. I pulled off the road and jumped out of my car. I gave Terry an ovation his whole journey down the hill. It seemed like forever and I felt a little silly, out there all alone clapping by myself. As he passed me, he looked me square in the face. I said something like "Good on `ya, Terry. We're all rooting for you!" He smiled at me and nodded...Thirty years later, that day remains a highlight of my life." This is an excerpt from Halton Hills resident Lois Fraser's submission to the Terry Fox Foundation's I Remember Terry. In conjunction with the 30th anniversary of the Marathon of Hope by Terry Fox, the TFF is creating a narrative of Canadians' relationship with Canada's hero on its website, Facebook and Twitter pages. "I don't know how many of you can remember events from 30 years ago. I know if you asked me who won the Stanley Cup or the World Series, I wouldn't remember. But I do know that we all remember Terry Fox and his Marathon of Hope," said longtime Acton volunteer Run organizer Jon Hurst. "Many Halton Hills residents have cherished memories of having seen and even talked to Terry as the Marathon of Hope travelled through town over a threeday period." On July 22, 1980, Fox completed his day's running on Hwy 7 in Rockwood but was transported to Georgetown where the Cancer Society had organized a dinner in his honour at the Lions Hall. The next day, he returned to Rockwood 17 Independent & Free Press, Thursday, September 16, 2010 "The event is not a race or a competition, but an opportunity for caring individuals and their families to complete the fundraising event at their own desired pace and length," --Acton Run organizer Jon Hurst · participants can arrive anytime · no entry fee · no minimum pledge required · rain or shine · residents can also get involved by sponsoring a participant, or dropping by on Run day with a donation.

Bright and early the following morning, July 24, he ran through Georgetown and Norval. "Terry was sincerely impressed by the enthusiasm and support he received in Halton Hills," said Hurst. Less than two months later on Sept. 1, his Marathon of Hope would be stopped by a return of his cancer; he had run the equivalent of a marathon a day for 143 consecutive days. He died 10 months later on June 28, 1981. Following an outpouring of love and support from so many Canadians, who realized that Fox did not want his efforts to end, the annual Terry Fox Run was born, said Hurst. In next 30 years, more than $500 million has been raised for cancer research. "Acton has been a proud Terry Fox Run community for every one of those 30 years," said Hurst, "raising over $651,000 for the cause."
