“Can you imagine our community of Belleville raising a million dollars for Terry Fox? I mean just saying it sends shivers up my spine. And we are so close, not even $10,000 away from reaching that milestone.”
“So Terry Fox, we count that as the first Terry Fox Run when he did his Marathon of Hope in 1980. That’s why we’re at the 43rd Annual because it’s been 43 years since he ran. And, so Belleville is run site number 10 and what that means is it’s the tenth site to sign for the Terry Fox Run.”
She adds it will be a fun morning.
“We’re gonna have McDonald’s there, Starbucks. We’re gonna have so many breakfast goodies. Weston Bakeries is donating bagels again. We’re gonna have Reid’s Dairy donating chocolate milk. We’re gonna have lots of treats and breakfast for everybody to show up, get themselves fueled up for kickoff at 10 a.m. It’s gonna be an amazing day.”
They will also have this year’s official Terry Fox t-shirt designed with the help of Ryan Reynolds.
Registration for this year’s run begins at 9:30 at the Lion’s Pavilion at Zwick’s Park.
