Tomorrow September 18th, 2005 is the second Sunday after Labour Day. It is also traditionally the day for the annual Terry Fox Run. Terry Fox is an inspirational individual who brought cancer awareness to the forefront during his Marathon of Hope attempt to run from Canada’s Atlantic coast to its Paciric coast.
Amazingly, Terry ran on one leg (his right leg was amputated due to cancer), and completed more than half of the journey before succumbing to a cancer relapse just outside of Thunder Bay, Ontario. His memory lives on with The Terry Fox Foundation, which has raised more than $360 million with runs hosted in 50 countries in Terry’s name.
I also saw a 2 hour CTV original made-for-television special Terry, starring Shawn Ashmore, tonight. I was inspired to write a review of the movie on BlogCritics to help promote cancer awareness. I will post the review link here when BlogCritics publishes the review! BlogCritics has published the review!
