About 1,000 people participated. So far the tally raised for cancer research is $46,000 and climbing. 4031 Fairview Street, Burlington 500 Speers Road, Oakville 245 Wyecroft Road Oakville 905-632-5255 905-842-1163 905-842-0032 Keeping Terry's dream alive By Angela Blackburn OAKVILLE BEAVER STAFF Masquerade Advertising space courtesy of the Oakville Beaver In 1980 one man changed the world, and 27 years later, more than 1,000 Oakvillians ran in his name Sunday. The 27th annual Terry Fox Run saw people walk, cycle, skate, run or push a stroller to benefit the Canadian Cancer Society. "...but I might not make it, and if I don't make it, then the Marathon of Hope better continue," so said Fox in 1980 -- a time when no one had ever run across Canada to raise money for charity. The late Terry Fox's Marathon of Hope did continue here Sunday as more than 1,000 participants celebrated Fox's marathon and raised $46,204 (and counting) for cancer research. Fox, in 1980, ran from St. John's, Newfoundland to Thunder Bay, Ontario asking for donations to fund cancer research. Although Fox was unable to complete the run ­ the cancer that took his right leg had spread to his lungs forcing him to abandon the run on Sept 1, 1980 after 143 days and 5,373 kms ­ he inspired millions in 51 countries around the world to continue his dream. To date, the Terry Fox Foundation, which oversees the annual run and distributes research funds for all kinds of "Though we were down 14 per cent from 2006, we are still quite pleased. Once all pledges and a variety of other funds roll in we should be close to the $100,000 mark." Ralph Robinson, Terry Fox Run co-organizer cancers, has raised more than $400 million. This year's run, according to long-time run organizer and Ward 1 Councillor Ralph Robinson, saw fewer people participate this year. "Though we were down 14 per cent from 2006, we are still quite pleased. Once all pledges and a variety of other funds roll in we should be close to the $100,000 mark, but again, the Run Day currently stands at $46,204," said Robinson Monday. People participated in the annual run for all kinds of reasons, because they or their loved ones have or had cancer, to support finding a cure for cancer and to keep Fox's dream alive -- a cure for cancer. Participants gathered, either individually or as teams for the Team Challenge, at Abbey Park High School to take part and raise money for cancer research. Those taking part could choose their mode and their route, either a 5K or 10K route. The Run began to the sound of Elizabeth Sheridan's bagpipes. Dan Ferrone hosted the opening ceremonies and Dorothy and Daisy Progosh led the singing of O Canada. Entertainment was provided by the Oakville band, The Revolution Music Band and clown Jeannie Jelly Beans provided fun for kids while a children's craft area also offered face painting. Glen and Lystra Hamilton performed their original song Run Terry Run, written in 1980 during the Marathon of Hope. The Kinsmen Club sold ham and eggs on a muffin, and Terry Fox t-shirts were sold. "It was a wonderful venue and it has become a family outing. We had many events including the Kinsmen doing eggs and ham on a bun for breakfast, Revolution Music had a great band and singer. We had a clown, face painting, crafts, physio and great quantities of fruit and cookies, juices and water, and pizza," said Robinson. In 1980, Fox, who had lost a leg to bone cancer, ran a marathon a day when he set out to cross Canada. The annual Terry Fox Run continues to be a day of celebrating Fox's legacy and a means of keeping his dream of a cure for cancer alive. To make a donation visit www.terryfoxrun.org.
