"A Family Tradition for 128 Years" PORT PERRY STAR - Tuesday, Sept. 13, 1994 - 3 By Jeff Mitchell Port Perry Star This Sunday (Sept. 18) will mark the culmination of weeks of planning and promotion when the Terry Fox Run for cancer research takes to the streets of Port Perry after sev- eral years absence. Participants, who raise money through pledges and contributions, will run, walk and cycle a one, five or 10 kilo- metre course, which starts and ends at Palmer Park and winds through the streets of Port Perry and Prince Albert. The run begins at 9 a.m., and participants are urged to show up early to register. "We are prepared for a large number" of participants, run coordinator lizabeth McArthur said last week, as the date for the much-antici- pated run approached. "There's no doubt in my mind the weather will affect what happens." Organizers are planning with the help of volunteers to provide food, music and fun for participants and specta- tors. In addition, broadcaster and chef David Wolfman will be on hand to act as master of ceremonies and provide com- mentary on the proceedings. "What we're trying to do is build it as an event," said Mrs. McArthur, who along with several other local people decided to revive the popular fundraising event in memory of Terry Fox. It's been a num- ber of years since the last Fox . run here. Organizers have avoided setting a goal for the amount of money to be raised, or for the number of participants who come out to hit the course Sunday morning, said Mrs. McArthur. She added however it's important for this year's event to be a success so that it will be well-received in years to come. That's one of the reasons organizers are offering people so many ways to get involved, the choice of courses and means of completing them encourages participation by everyone, not just runners. Individuals can run, walk, cycle or even roller blade the routes, and teams can do them in a relay if they choose. The shortest route, one kilometre, begins at Palmer Park then takes participants up Casimir St. to John St., then back down Queen St. towards the park, and will take a few minutes to complete. The five-kilometre course takes participants through Apple Valley and up Scugog St. to Simcoe St., then down MacDonald to Queen, and back to the park. The 10 K course will wind through Apple Valley and then down Union St. in Prince Albert, back up Simcoe St. to Regional Rd. 8, and then down Bigelow St. to Queen, where runners will converge with other par- ticipants for the approach to the finish line at the park. They will be greeted there by members of Terry's Team, cancer survivors who have come forward to help the effort here. Mrs. McArthur said last week nine local people have volunteered to be members of Terry's Team, a number that's much higher than organizers expected when they asked for participation. Mrs. McArthur said it's a "tremendous step" for the can- cer survivors to come forward and take part in the event. She added however the par- ticipation of the survivors is important, because their pres- ence adds the air of hope that is so important to the effort. Part of the appeal of the event is that virtually every- one has been touched by cancer among friends or family. "It affects who you are and it changes you," said Mrs. McArthur, who lost a son to cancer three years ago. Participants will be able to post their own special més- sages on a memory wall to be raised for the event. In addition to Sunday's run, some local schools will get stu- dents out and moving in an effort to raise funds over the next week or so, said Mrs. McArthur.
