Terry Fox Run is Sept. 18, but the kick-off is next Thursday The Terry Fox Run year begins in Oakville with the annual Team Up for Terry Fox kickoff breakfast, designed to encourage residents, businesses and organizations to form a team in support of Terry Fox's dream of finding a cure for cancer. The fourth annual Team Up for Terry Fox Kick-off Breakfast will be held on Thursday, April 7, from 7:30-9 a.m. in the Atrium at Town Hall, located at 1225 Trafalgar Rd. Breakfast will be provided by Catch Hospitality. This year's breakfast will feature keynote speaker Dr. Sheila Singh, associate professor and pediatric neurosurgeon and Canada Research Chair in Human Cancer Stem Cell Biology at McMaster University's Stem Cell and Cancer Research Institute. Singh is a Terry Fox Foundation-funded researcher in advanced brain tumour research and treatment. The morning will also feature special guest speaker Sabrina Fuoco, a Terry's Team Member and five-time cancer survivor.
