We are currently reading the book, Run by Eric Walters - a book that follows a young boy named Winston who ends up following Terry across Canada during his Marathon of Hope. Though the story is fiction, it stays true to the spirit of Terry, as the facts, the time line and many of the words Terry speaks are true to his life story.
Here is a short video from ESPN (which is part of a bigger documentary) giving us a small glimpse of Terry's determination and courage he had while looking to make a difference in the world.
Terry had shared many poignant words of wisdom during his short life. Today will be research for those quotes and sharing them with our school through a bulletin board outside our classroom. We'll be sure to post a picture once it is complete. We also hope you support Terry and the Terry Fox Foundation this September by running in one of many Terry Fox runs around the world (our school's run was Monday, September 16th) and by raising money in his name for cancer research. Don't forget your Toonie for Terry!
