In total, including individual individual runners' contributions the Clarington run raised $76,500 in 2002, a run record for the Bowmanville Bowmanville site. During the breakfast, a special special mention was made of a $500 donation made by the now-defunct now-defunct Bowmanville Drama Club in memory of Vic Goad. "The Bowmanville Drama Club is folding, there are still funds in the bank account and as Vic passed away this past year from cancer, the club felt the Terry Fox Foundation was an appropriate appropriate place to put some of its money," said Pat Marjerrison, club spokesman. "Many of the drama club's past members work as volunteers for the Terry Fox Run Clarington. "Vic was a long-term member of the drama club doing many things back stage but his biggest contribution was on stage as an actor, where he excelled." Darrell Fox, Terry's brother, was guest of honour at the breakfast. breakfast. He spoke of his time with Terry during the Marathon of Hope in 1980 when Teny, a cancer cancer survivor who had lost a leg to the disease, ran more than 5,000 kilometres through Atlantic Canada, Quebec and Ontario. Teny was forced to stop the run when cancer spread to his lungs. He died the following year at the age of 22. Mr. Fox spoke of his journey with his brother, of Terry's spirit, his courage and his humanity, relating relating some of the victories and some of the most difficult times travelling across Canada. There were times when frustrations would mount and Teny and his best friend Doug, would barely be on speaking terms, recalled Mr. Fox. Yet neither would ever give up on the commitment they'd made to each other, he said. Mr. Fox spoke of his own role, keeping his brother's spirits up during the greatest times of adversity. "I could always make Terry laugh," he said. Mr. Fox told of the hardship, even now, 21 years later, of living without his beloved brother. But most of all, he spoke of the inspiration Terry provided him then and eveiy day since. "There were moments during this period when I would question question what I had gotten (sic) into, sitting in the back of the van for eight to 10 hours a day. But the feelings quickly subsided looking looking ahead at Teny running 26 miles eveiy day. "There was one time when (in retrospect) I should have realized that perhaps something was wrong," with Teny, said Mr. Fox. "But it would have taken more than Darrell Fox to stop Terry from the Marathon of Hope." Today whenever he feels discouraged, discouraged, Mr. Fox said he simply reads his brother's account of the run and finds courage in his brother's words to cany on. The 2003 Terry Fox Run takes place Sept. 14. In Clarington, the run will start at Memorial Park in Bowmanville Bowmanville beginning with registration registration at 8 a.m. Anyone interested in more information information can. call 905-987- 4667.
