(Jamie Harrison photos) Fox's dream remembered in Georgetown Cont. from Page 1 ward Jon Hurst, organizer of the Acton Terry Fox Run, who was instrumental in help- ing her organize the run in Georgetown on such short notice. "He was wonderful -- he really helped me out," Cov- ert said. Covert said that her expe- rience this year, while tiring, have left her with a desire to try it again in 1997. "T think I'd like to give ita go and see what could hap- pen with a year (to prepare). "TL djust like to thank all of our volunteers, Mayor Serjeantson, Adam Green for starting the races, and all of the businesses in Georgetown for their donations and sup- port." The Terry Fox Run has been organized since the first year after Fox's aborted run attempt. When his run was cut short, there was speculation that a myriad of Canadian athletes, including then-To- ronto Maple Leaf Captain Darryl Sittler, would com- plete the run for Terry. While this didn't happen, it did in- spire Canadians to rally be- hind the spirit which would fight to see a cure for cancer. Terry Fox lost a leg to can- cer, inspiring him to pursue his now legendary Marathon of Hope--arunacross Canada from the east coast to his home on Vancouver Island. Fox's journey was cut short when doctors found the can- cer had returned, spreading to his lungs. Aborting his run at Thunder Bay, Ontario, Fox died the following summer. The original goal of the Marathon of Hope was to raise $1 million for cancer research. The run eventually raised $24.17 million. Fox's run took him through communities large and small, including this one, where he spent the night in a local motel. Some, including this reporter, were lucky enough to meet him. Fifteen years after his death, Terry Fox Runs are held in coun- tries including, Bosnia, Zim- babwe, Hong Kong, Costa Rica, the U.S., and, ofcourse, Canada.
