This' Sunday Brussels will once
again be hosting a Terry Fox Run.
However, for the first time there is
no one to lead it.
The annual Run is usually
represented in each community
hosting it, by a cancer survivor.
Waneta Leishman, who with her
husband Allan has organized the run
for two years, said this time a
volunteer for Terry’s Team Member
could not be found.
“If someone came forward any
time prior to Sunday, even Sunday
morning, I would be pleased,” she
says.
However, team member or no
team member, rain or shine, the run
will begin from the former Ark on
Turnberry Street across from the
post office at noon. Participants can
register up until 2 p.m.
The route is the same as in
previous years. There is an eight km.
trek around the outskirts of the
village, while less ambitious folk can
take a five km. walk around town.
j Pledge sheets can be picked up at
several locations around the village
including the bank, Brussels Variety,
Teeft’s and J.R.’s.
Anyone unable to take part in the
walk for any reason can hand their
pledge sheet and money into the
Brussels branch of the CIBC after
Sunday.
Leishman says they are also
looking for donations for hot dogs
and pop as well as volunteers to help
with the event on Sunday.
Anyone interested in helping or
being the Team Member can contact
Waneta at 887-9101. There is an
answering machine, so please leave
a message, she says.
