Terry Fox run Sunday

THE MARATHON of Hope,
launched two years ago by
Terry Fox with his epic run
across half of Canada,
continues this Sunday (Sept.
19).

From coast to coast
communities will be holding
the second annual Terry Fox
Run with sponsored entrants
of all ages and conditions
raising further funds to aid
cancer research.

On the North Shore the
run starts from Park Royal at
9:00 p.m. with registration at
8:00 p.m. Participants can
also pre-register by calling
Frank Kurucz (922-1211) or
Liz McDonald (929-7314).

Terry, the 22-year-old
Coquitlam boy who had
already lost a leg to cancer,

raised nearly $24 million
during the summer of 1980
when he set out to run across
Canada from the Atlantic to
the Pacific.

By the time he was forced
to abandon the run at
Thunder Bay due to a
resurgence of his cancer
condition, he had already
become a national hero.

The remaining nine
months of his life brought
him the highest honors the
country can bestow upon a
citizen -- including the Order
of Canada and a mountain
nmamed for him by the B.C.
government.

After a gallant struggle
against the disease he had
dedicated himself to fight on
behalf of all sufferers, Terry
died in June 1981.

Drop-in centres seeking volunteers

a week and are used by 500
families and 1,000 children.
While the children enjoy
supervised play, parents
meet informally over a cup
of coffee. Sometimes they
invite a speaker, but
generally the program is un-
structured, the goal being to

In the playroom, however,
activities are planned and
the little ones are Kept busy.
For many it is their first
opportunity to play with
other children of their age.

Volunteers are needed
both to assist in the
playroom and to help with
the parents’ program. In the
playroom a paid supervisor
needs up to three assistants.
Their job is to involve the
children in activities and
keep a caring watch on
them.
