Castlegar set to run for Terry Fox Corinne Jackson NEWS REPORTER he cold weather can’t keep Castlegar down... at least, that’s what the organizers of the 12th Annual Terry Fox Run are saying. The annual run is expected to draw some 100 cyclists, wheelers, walkers and runners to the Community Complex this Sunday in support of cancer research. Participants will meander through three, five or 10 kilometre courses, helping keep alive Terry Fox’s dream of finding a cure for cancer. Darrell Fox, Terry’s younger brother, said that Castlegar is just one of 119 communities across B.C: and the Yukon that is hosting a run. As well, he said some 400 school events took place Friday to help raise money for cancer research. “The phone has been ringing off the hook for the last two weeks. The response has been overwhelming,” Fox said. “After 12 years, it’s incredible that people remember Terry. But more importantly his dream of finding a cure for cancer has been kept alive in the heart of all Canadians.” Funds raised at tomorrow’s Terry Fox Run will be turned over to the National Cancer Institute of Canada. “They, in turn, review all the applications that come from across Canada for grants,” Fox said. They are then awarded on the quality of research. A ccording to Fox, after Terry found out that he had cancer, he wanted to know more about it. He found that not enough money was going into cancer research in Canada and set out to change things. His Marathon of Hope was designed to raise awareness of the disease and money for research. “Terry was of the mind that whether the research was being done in Ontario or Manitoba didn’t matter, because in the end it benefits us all,” Fox said. “With the run, we try and follow what Terry wanted. That all funds raised by the annual run go to cancer research.” Castlegar’s event co-ordinator is just as committed to this goal. And in fact, Verona Walker is doing everything in her power to boost our community’s involvement. “If you’re going on a Sunday walk this is a good place to do it,” Walker said. Walker also hopes to increase attendance by keeping the registration tables open longer. ° News photo by Corinne Jackson E Loomis’ Garry Graham (left) and Canada Post's Matt Gallo are up to the Terry Fox [| can be handed in from 10 a.m. to noon on the event day. “We know that some people will be going to church so we're having the registration table open longer,” Walker said. In order to increase the amount of money raised, she said that pledge forms can be handed in at the end of the week. “This allows people some extra time to collect their pledges,” Walker said. edge forms are available at the Community Complex, Castlegar Post Office, Pharmasave, IGA and most financial institutions. The course starts from the Community Complex and — for those going the whole 10-k — it goes as far as the industrial park on the way to Trail. Last year, about $1,300 was raised. Almost 20-cents per citizen, according to Walker’s figures. “We did better than some communities, but we’re hoping we can do even better this year. We’d like anybody that does come, to give $2,” she said. Money will also be raised from T-shirt sales. Walker who has been involved in the fun, but it’s also a good cause. “It certainly is a worthwhile event for individuals and families,” she said. But it looks like the event has an even wider appeal. Some businesses around Castlegar are challenging one another to raise funds. Canada Post letter carrier Matt Gallo and Garry Graham, a Loomis courier, have run together in past Terry Fox runs, but this year they are trying to get more people out. They have presented a challenge to other Castlegar couriers. 6¢ J t's a challenge for participation not competition,” Graham explained. “We're just trying to get more people out and bring Sepecens or pledges from their office,” he said. Gallo said the response has been positive. “The only problem has been that people are not aware of the different ways you can participate. “A lot of people are afraid they have to run 10-k,” Gallo said. “but you can bring kids in the stroller and walk.”
