He was a young man who inspired a nation to commit to supporting cancer research. All across the country thousands of people will help celebrate the Cana- dian hero's legacy on Sep- tember 20. The Terry Fox Founda- tion raises about $20 mil- lion for cancer research in Canada each year. It is an organization dedicated to raising money and keeping Fox's memory alive. Kim Smith, community events coordinator with the Terry Fox Foundation, said this year marks the 35th anniversary of Fox's Mara- thon of Hope. Smith said the foundation is touched by Canadians who are still dedicated to Fox's original cause. Fox is a great example for young people who need a tangible hero for a worthy cause, said Smith. Thirty-five years later there is still a lot of work to be done in the battle against cancer. Not only does his story still resonate but the need for research is still current," said The Clinton Terry Fox is sponsored by the Clinton Kinettes every year. Event organizer, Angela Cullen said Fox's legacy is impor- tant because cancer has affected so many people's lives. Fox's message is espe- cially poignant for Cullen as she is a cancer survivor herself. She said cancer has touched the lives of many people in the club making it all the more important to carry on the legacy. "We think it's important because cancer research is imperative. I know I wouldn't be here if Terry Fox hadn't started his run and raised so much money for cancer research," said Cullen. The Clinton Terry Fox run starts at Millenium Park on September 20 at 1 p.m. Reg- istration starts at 12 p.m. and is open for walkers or run- ners who want to follow the 10 kilometre route. Cullen said one of the best parts of the Terry Fox run is that is doesn't matter how much participants pledge. "It's not just about the money, it's about the sup- port and the whole momentum of it. It's actu- ally very emotional," said Pr,' Postmedia Network file photo Terry Fox was only 22 -years - old when he lost his life to bone cancer.
