Terry led the way to cancer survival continued from p.7 "The first time I did the run I was in a wheelchair," she said. Officially starting this year's run was 10-yearold Oakville resident and cancer survivor Teagan Walsh, who commenced the event from her wheelchair. The young girl is also dealing with the same type of cancer Fox had. A new surgical technique has saved her leg and she is now undergoing chemotherapy. Teagan's father, David, called the advancements which saved her leg "a miracle." "We are so proud of her. She has fought through this like a true warrior. I can't imagine the pain she endured during the surgery and after the surgery," he said. "It's heartbreaking, but due to events like these, and you people, we managed to save her leg... I just want to thank you all for what you are doing from the bottom of my heart for cancer, for Teagan." Teagan herself said the day's events were loads of fun. "I really liked it. It's just a fun thing to do," she said. "Everyone knows what you've gone through because you came here to the Terry Fox Run, so you can just be normal and you can meet a lot of new people." Despite the underlying seriousness of the event, the day maintained a party atmosphere with some children enjoying face painting while others danced to music. 9 | Thursday September 21, 2017 | OAKVILLE BEAVER | www.insidehalton.com PERSONAL INJURY MEDICAL MALPRACTICE David Visschedyk | Riziero Vertolli/Metroland As of run day, $115,000 of the target $150,000 had been raised.
