The people who look for the possibilities in an impossible task often make the difference, and Terry Fox was one of those people.
It was Fox’s determination towards his ultimate goal – to outrun cancer – that exemplifies the importance of leading by example. He ran 5,373 kilometres in 143 days with the goal of seeking a cure for those affected by cancer and giving those around him something to hold onto – hope.
This year marks the 33rd annual Terry Fox Run and volunteers are needed to help organize and execute the run in Salmon Arm. By becoming a run volunteer, you become an integral part of the entire run event.
Volunteers are needed to join the organizing committee and also for various run-day duties for this meaningful cause, as the run is fast approaching – it takes place on Sunday, Sept. 15.
Cliff and Fran Evans have organized the Salmon Arm Run since 2004 and have enjoyed the opportunity to contribute to a worthy cause while engaging fellow community members. “Being minutes away from the communities of Sorrento, Blind and Eagle Bay, Sicamous, Grinrod and Enderby, Salmon Arm is a great location for this year’s Terry Fox Run,” says Cliff. “We invite you all to come join us and contribute in any way that you can.”
If you are interested in becoming a volunteer for the Terry Fox Run in Salmon Arm, contact the Evans by email at evafc@shaw.ca, or by phone at 250-804-0376.
The runs are non-competitive and inclusive; the registration fee is by donation and there is no minimum pledge amount.
