For the second year in a row, the Terry Fox Run will be held virtually across Canada. The theme of this year's run, to be held on Sept. 19, is "One Day. Your Way." After starting the Mara- thon of Hope on April 12, 1980, Terry Fox reached Oakville three months lat- er on July 13. He was 3,501 kilometres into his run. In his journal, he wrote, "To- day I started at 9:30 a.m. and did 20 miles. The roads were full today and the peo- ple cheered me all the way. It is simply beyond imagi- nation." Oakville will continue to honour Fox by holding its 41st annual Terry Fox Run. Here's how you can take part: • You can sign up to par- ticipate in the Oakville Ter- ry Fox Run, join a team or make a donation at www.terryfox.ca/terryfox- run/oakville. All funds support Terry Fox cancer research projects. • Four fundraisers will be held prior to the run: Saturday, Sept. 4 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the South Oakville Centre, Rebecca Street and Third Line; Fri- day, Sept. 10 from 5 to 7 p.m. at Bronte Harbour; Satur- day, Sept. 11, Real Canadian Superstore, 201 Oak Park Blvd.; Saturday, Sept. 18 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Met- ro/LCBO/Beer Store, Eighth Line and Upper Middle Road. • You can buy a special edition Terry Fox Run T- shirt. The Fox family worked with Métis Nation British Columbia to create a shirt celebrating Terry's heritage. The shirt features illustrations of traditional Métis floral beading creat- ed by Métis artist Mal Blon- deau. The flowers chosen represent the land where Terry's ancestors lived: the prairie crocus of Manitoba and the wild prairie rose of North Dakota. The phrase "Try like Terry" is written in English, French and the Métis traditional language of Michif. VIRTUAL TERRY FOX RUN SET FOR SEPT. 19 Special edition Terry Fox Run T-shirts will be available at four fundraisers being held in Oakville to support the 41st annual Terry Fox Run on Sunday, Sept. 19.
