16 THE NEW TANNER THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 9, 2004 Terry Fox Run September 19 _ 87% of funds goes to Cancer research S by Jon Hurst On Sunday, September 19, the 24" annual Terry Fox Run will take place, rain or shine, at the Acton High School track. The official opening begins at 8 a.m. with Acton Citizen of the Year Max MacSween and Mayor Rick Bonnette present to cut the ribbon. Participants can arrive any time between 8 a.m. and 3 p.m. to run, walk, jog or cy- cle some or all of the 25 laps around the track. The event is not a race or a competition, but an oppor- tunity for caring individuals ~ and their families to com- plete the fundraising event around the track at their own desired pace and length. Tn 1988, the Terry Fox Run became a Trust, independent from the Canadian Cancer Society, and received tax-ex- empt charitable registration as a public foundation. The annual event continues to be "known as The Terry Fox Run, while the structural or- ganization is known as The Terry Fox Foundation. The funds raised through the annual Terry Fox Run are used exclusively for cancer re- search and are distributed by the National Cancer Institute of Canada to fund the best quality research in Canada. "The Terry Fox Founda- tion is known for funding some of the country's bright- est and most innovative cancer researchers," says Dr. Michael Wosnick, NCIC's executive director.

Since the inception of the tun in 1981, the Foundation has raised a total of $342 million. Administration ex- and fundraising expenses total 10% which leaves 87% of all monies raised to go directly to cancer research. As well as raising money, the Terry Fox Foundation continues to share the story of Terry Fox, and to maintain the discipline, commitment and integrity that he exhibited throughout his Marathon of Hope, as he raised awareness among Canadians to the rav- ages of cancer and the need to find a cure. In 1999, during a visit to Acton, Terry's mother, Betty Fox, stopped at the crest of the hill on the Veteran's Highway as it enters Acton, to install a new sign on the large community board. It reads "Acton -- A Proud Terry Fox Run Community." Acton has been committed to Terry since 1980, and with the support of so many dedi- cated volunteers, participants and donators, it is our hope that this year we can see our total funds raised exceed half a million dollars. Terry once said, "Even if I don't finish, we need oth- ers to continue. It's got to keep going without me." Please join us on Sunday, September 19, and bring a friend, as we continue Ter- ty's dream of finding a cure for cancer.

Longboat gained fame when he won the Boston Marathon in 1907 and set a new record. He won many more cups and cash awards for his running ability but died at age 62 in poverty back at his Six Nations home.
