THE GEORGETOWN GEMINI WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 9, 1996 MARATHON OF HOPE! More than 650 students at George Kennedy Public School gathered to hold their own Terry Fox Run, Friday. The original run at the school was rained out in September. (Jamie Harrison photo) School holds run for Terry Fox It's October, school is in, and already the students and staff at George Kennedy Public School were gearing up for theschool's annual Terry Fox Run. Living up to their mission statement, "Love of learning inasafe, caring community," is an obvious commitment of teacher/organizer Dave Toderick and his dedicated committee, who are involved with the local charity effort. From a total of about $600 raised in-1992, the school has set a goal of almost ten times that amount for this year. Stu- dents can be spotted outside training daily for the one kilo- metre laps they'll run for pledges on the afternoon of Ketchup Mud I I : 1 'NO 1 Waterproof waterproof shoes simply wipe Oct. 4. With the support of parents manning water cool- ers, acting as marshals, re- cording laps and, of course, contributing to the cause, the entire students population from Grades | through 5 will be out in force making their collective way around the course. "The whole school com- munity is invited to join us," enthused Toderick. "In fact many children specifically request family members to participate, and it's not un- common to see babies in, strollers, siblings and grand- parents all jogging or walk- ing through Joseph Gibbons Park."

"Terry is not only a true Canadian hero," noted Toderick, "(but) his selfless dedication con- tinues to inspire people worldwide, and annual char- ity runs are held as far away as Singapore, Bangladesh and the Czech Republic -- 287 sites worldwide. "Doing the Terry Fox Run at the school becomes more thana fundraiser--the Gr. 5's do a unit entirely on heroes." The Terry Fox Foundation is the ultimate beneficiary of the school community's ef- forts. That organization has more than monetary contri- butions from George Kennedy each year. An origi- nal theme song, Lessons From Terry, written by Toderick, is performed by students to his guitar accom- paniment at a special Terry Fox assembly.
