Queen's Park is currently considering a private member's bill from Scarborough-Agincourt MPP Soo Wong -- who was at Friday's event -- that would make Terry Fox Day across the province a reality. Oakville MPP and Minister of Labour Kevin Flynn said he hopes that will be achieved by September. "Certainly, if there's anybody in our history that deserves a day, it's this young man," Flynn said of Terry at the breakfast. Damoff, who is also captain of Team Max, spoke to those in attendance of her late colleague, Ward 6 Councillor and OakvilleNorth Burlington federal Liberal candidate Max Khan, who died suddenly in late March. Damoff recalled the day Khan, who was a three-time cancer survivor, had found out the deadly disease had returned for a third time and told her he would host a fundraiser party for the Terry Fox Run, which collected more than $2,000. Choking back tears, Damoff called Khan an incredible man who inspired everyone around him. Fred said he is glad Team Max is part of the Terry Fox family. "Terry's goal was to make a difference in the We all know we're well on our way to what Terry hoped for.

Ward 1 Town Councillor Ralph Robinson, who chaired the Oakville run for 25 years prior to handing the reigns to Damoff, thanked Fred for taking time from his cross-country speaking tour to visit Oakville. "We thank you for arranging your schedule to share the worldwide and life-altering characteristics of the Terry Fox family, our hero, and your brother Terry," Robinson said. "As a two-time cancer survivor, I am both inspired and humbled by your confidence, Fred and Terry's courage... and his words. He said, `I am not a dreamer. And I'm not saying this will initiate any definitive answer or cure for cancer, but I believe in miracles. I have to.' "We all know we're well on our way to what Terry hoped for," he added.
