Mrs. Helen O'Reilly, pres- ident of the Scugog branch of the Canadian Cancer Society said local officials are very pleased with the way Town- ship residents have respond- ed to the Terry Fox Mara- thon of Hope. "It's been very emotional, and it all happened so very quickly," she said. Mrs. O'Reilly said the citi- zens of the Township have always been generous when it comes to raising money for cancer and she pointed out that the regular fund raising drive last April topped $13,000 which was more than the local target. She said that despite all the publicity surrounding the Terry Fox Marathon, routine - work by the local branch goes on, and at present there is a shortage of volunteer drivers, and people who can provide service to cancer patients. She asked that anyone interested in joining the local branch as a volunteer should phone 985-7201. Meanwhile, efforts by local citizens to raise more money for the Terry Fox Marathon of Hope continue.

Nancy Hanna of Oakwood, Robert Shaw of Port Perry and Joan Holliday of Oakwood, cycled the 20 miles from Oakwood to Port Perry on Sunday, and raised more than $4000 for the Marathon of Hope. students from the public schools in Scugog Township are organizing a cross- country run in the near future, but details were nht available as of Monday morning. And if anyone is interested in buying a Marathon of Hope T-shirt for $5, the Scugog Cancer Society 'Branch has limited quanti- ties available by calling 985- 7410. Latest figures from across Canada- indicate that the Marathon of Hope has raised in excess of $12 million, and that fund is growing all the time as dollars flow in from communities like Scugog. Terry Fox said at the outset that his goal would be to raise one dollar from every Canadian for research into the causes and treat- ment of cancer. We think that is a realistic goal for Scugog Township where there are about 13,000 people, and the Star would like to challenge the citizens of this Township to help reach that target. It can be done because there are peopla willing to give: people like the little girl who walked into the Star office one day last week with a jar filled with $6 in pennies, and said, 'Here, this is for Terry." Jim Stevens of Prince Albert helped organize a walk-a-thon on Sunday from Port Perry to Uxbridge, and with the help of several teen-agers raised $400. With Jim are seven-year old twin brothers Jason and Jon Ausman who comniated the walk. « ® Lt
