Call Betty Ann 853-1944 Around 500 students showed up to take part in Acton High Schools annual Terry Fox Run on Friday, Sept. 28. The track that encircles the soccer field at the rear of the high school was packed with eager students that walked, ran, skipped and pedalled their way around for Terry and his dream. The event, which took place around 10:15 am, was during the days second period class. Students were encouraged to go down and participate, but were not forced to attend. Its a really good turn out, said ADHS Principal Bert OHearn. Its also completely voluntary, which is great. With the schools student population around 560 stu- dents, almost the entire student body came out to show their support. Even teachers were taking their turns running, walking, and skipping their way around the track. Unlike most Terry Fox Run events, this event was more focused on participa- tion and spreading the word about cancer research than raising money. Donations were accepted and even a few students gave some of their precious lunch money to help the cause. This run isnt necessarily about the money, said co- organizer and ADHS teacher Joan Boychuck. What we re- ally are interested in is student participation. Event organizer Jon Hurst was also on hand for the event and had some inspiring words for the students before they began their run. He spoke of Terrys determination to get a job done, and thanked all the students for taking the time to come out and support this great cause. Newly crowned Miss Acton Fall Fair, Emily Stirtzinger, and runners up Madison Ko- tack and Cassandra Stokes cut the red ribbon to kick off the days run. Over at MSB, they also had their Terry Fox Run, which took place at Prospect Park. It was a successful day, said Boychuck, and even the dark rain clouds seemed to move aside for the days events. Terrys dream lives on at schools in Acton RUN FOR TERRY: Around 500 Acton High School students are ready to take part in this years Terry Fox Run. - Matthew Reid photo Want to advertise in TheNew Tanner?
