Terry was forced to stop just out- side Thunder Bay on Sept. 1, 1980. The cancer had spread to his lungs. Terry died a national hero on June 28, 1981, capturing the hearts of millions in his quest to help fund cancer research and one day, to find a cure. It-was one month before his 23rd birthday. The Terry Fox run is now hailed as the largest single-day fundraiser for cancer research in the world. In 1991, International Runs were held in 33 countries. The total funds raised globally, as of this year, are over $100,000,000. Mayor Russ Miller will officially declare the Acton run open at 8 a.m. Participants can arrive anytime between 8 a.m. and 3 p.m. and do part or all of the 25 laps around the track. Several prizes are available for > Tanners, two Toronto Blue Jay tickets, four games of miniature golf at Tuitman’s and several Blue Jay souvenirs, including hats, water bottles, baseball cards and duffle bags.

It has given me courage and a sense of purpose I never had before. But you don’t have to do like I did...wait until you lose a leg or get some awful disease, before you take the time to find out what kind of stuff you’re really made of. You can start now. Anybody can.” one of the most important things Seaving Acton and _Axea fon over 15 years...
