Aaron Jacklin
Seaforth raised $4,180 for cancer
research this year in the Terry Fox
Run, according to organizer Marty
Bedard.
He said there were 70 participants
out jogging, walking and biking this
year.
"That's down a little in numbers
and in money raised from last year,"
said Bedard.
Last year Seaforth had 100 partic-
ipants collecting $4,750.
Bedard noted that the average
amount raised in town since
Seaforh started holding the annual
event in 1982 is about $3,000 per
SisiS
year.
"Not counting this year's totals,
we've raised $73,677.79 from 1982
until 2006," he said.
Bedard said that Seaforth has
averaged 80 participants per year in
the last 10 years, with 100 last year
and 76 the year before.
Steve and Claire Eckert - siblings
from outside of Seaforth - did the
Terry Fox Run on Sunday for the
first time in about 10 years.
Steve said the last time they ran it
would have been as students at St.
James School.
"We're trying to get in shape," he
said.

research," added his sister.
Steve said their father died of pan-
creatic cancer seven years ago this
October.
"He was diagnosed in January of
2000 and passed away in October
2000," said Steve, noting that while
his father never participated in the
event, he had donated.
"Claire and I wanted to get
involved in the Terry Fox Run again
because we hadn't been out," he
said, explaining that they want to
do their part.
The two jogged the 6 -km course
through Seaforth together, -taking
42 minutes.
They raised $100.
