Halton Hills Terry Fox Runs Thirty years ago, Terry Fox set out on his famous Marathon of Hope. Starting in Newfoundland, Fox planned to run across Canada in order to raise funds and awareness for cancer, a disease that caused him to have his leg amputated. Although his run and life were cut short when his cancer returned, Fox's spirit lives on each year when communities across Canada host Terry Fox Runs. Hundreds of runners, walkers, bikers and rollerbladers participated in the Acton and Georgetown runs on September 19 and enjoyed games, displays and delicious food. The Georgetown event raised $22,000 while the Acton run raised $24,5000.

Framing for Christmas starts today! I would like to tell you a story about a customer's unique framing idea . . . One day a young couple came in to frame a precious butterfly (it had been released at a friends wedding and unfortunately didn't make it). They wanted to frame the butterfly along with their friends wedding invitation to give back to the newlyweds as a gift. Unfortunately the butterfly was very fragile and fell apart while the customer was deciding how to frame it. Wow! What else could we do with a magnifying glass but glue the butterfly back together for them. The couple was thrilled! The gift was given, and everyone was happy. Somewhere out there is a beautifully framed butterfly with a special meaning and a special story. BAYNES PHYSIOTHERAPY GEORGETOWN We frame Everything! See you t the Gallery! Cathy
