Kingsville’s Terry Fox Run a success

By Marilyn Farnworth Terry Fox’s 41st anniversary virtual run in Kingsville on Sunday, September 19 was another beautiful sunny day and a successful fundraiser. Thanks to all the Kingsville participants and donors who raised $7,696 for cancer research. This is an example of what can be done when a community rallies together for a common cause – ‘Kingsville Strong’. Kudos to the MFit team of Adrian and Marilyn Farnworth, Beth Ann Meloche and Heidi Sales who raised a whopping $5,411 in pledges this year. Congratulations also to Emily Bezaire for surpassing her fundraising goal, collecting $1,125 in pledges. Emily ran the

Windsor Riverfront Trail from the Ambassador Bridge to Hiram Walker. If you didn’t get a chance to support the Kingsville site, you can still donate at www.terryfox.ca/terryfoxrun/kingsville. A shout-out goes out to Aaron Nixon at Main Street Pharmacy for his annual participation in our run. It’s ironic that due to a pandemic, we were forced, like Terry, to set out on our own or in a small group of family and friends, to walk, run, bike or do an activity of our own choice. Hence, the theme ‘One Day, Your Way’. This is my 41st year of participating and I still get emotional thinking of Terry and his legacy. This was also a difficult year for me in that I officially

became a member of Terry’s team. From an annual mammogram, I was diagnosed with breast cancer, and after a successful lumpectomy, I am waiting to do my radiation treatments. Life sometimes throws you unexpected curves, but you just have to keep positive and move forward. The characteristics that Terry displayed in his Marathon of Hope, including determination, day-to-day commitments, focus, tolerance to pain, and loneliness are similar to what we must endure in our ongoing struggles to fight COVID-19. Canadians have never forgotten Terry and around the world he is the face of cancer research. Terry ran 143 days, 42 km/day, for a total of 5,373 km. To date, an in$ credible $850-million has PER GALLON $ been raised with tremenPER PAIL dous results, and 1,300 ALL COLORS AVAILABLE research projects have been funded.
