St. James students dedicate Terry Fox run to family, friends
Aaron Jacklin
Students at Seaforth's St. James
School dedicated their Terry Fox
fundraising walks to family mem-
bers and friends whose lives have
been touched by cancer this year.
The names were posted on a wall
in the school.
Principal Joanne Lombardi said
something she thought "was really
notable is the fact that we collected
many names."
Lombardi hasn't had the chance to
count them, but she said many
names went on the dedication wall.
"While that's very heartwarming,
it's also humbling to think that so
many people are affected by cancer,"
she said.
She sees this as being as much
about raising awareness about can-
cer as about raising the money. -
This is the first time St. James has
had a dedication wall.
"When we sent home a letter,
which was really just an invitation
for the children to participate and
contribute, we indicated that if they
wanted to think about somebody in
their family who had been affected
by cancer, that we'd be happy to
take their name and hang it on a
wall and we'd run with those people
in mind."
She said this helped the students
make a personal connection with
what the Terry Fox Run is all about.
Tyler Primeau, 12, was one of the
students walking in memory of a
family member. His grandfather,
Doug Westecott, died of cancer six
years ago this December.
"When I was little, he was one of
the people I looked up to," said the
Grade 7 student.
Jake McClure, another 12 -year-old
Grade 7 student, dedicated his walk
to Josie Nigh and Muriel McClure.
Nigh and McClure were Jake's
grandmothers.
"They both died of cancer," he said.
"My grandma Muriel died when I

"I always slept over at
their houses every Saturday
night," he said, noting he
would take turns.
Abby McGavin, 12, dedi-
cated her walk to her grand-
mother, Ruby Finlayson, a
skin cancer survivor.
Dan Dobson, also a
Grade 7 student, dedicat-
ed his walk to two people.
"One was my great
grandfather Jim Craig,"
he said. "He died about
two years ago on my birth-
day."»
Dobson remembers visit-
ing Craig.
"He always seemed to be
happy when we came to
the pool. We'd walk on the
deck and he'd look at us
and just sort of break into
a smile."
He also dedicated his
walk to his cousin Chelsea
Kochany, 17, of Stratford.
