Well, this has been a huge week for me. One that I won’t soon forget, but really, I need to save that for another day. Today is Terry Fox day here in Canada. An important day and one everybody should be participating in.
Terry Fox is pretty much one of the most famous Canadians ever. He had such heart and spirit, that his memory and legacy live on even though he lost his battle to cancer many years ago.
For those of you who might not know, he was a young man who lost his leg to cancer, and RAN ACROSS THE COUNTRY to raise money and awareness for cancer research. He almost made it too. But his legacy lives on and every September people from all across our country run, walk, ride their bikes, roller blade and raise money for cancer research.
It’s truly amazing how a community can come together and do great things.
The town I live in is small, with a population of less than 10,000 and last year our community raised almost 25,000 for cancer researach.
Amazing.
So, today I’ll be heading out shortly to participate in this incredible event and I hope everyone else is going to as well. Cancer has touched each and every one of us, whether indirectly or directly.
so get out there and make Terry Fox proud.
