Thanks again, everyone. We'll do this again next year.

Betty Fox, Dead at 71
Published by Toronto Mike on June 18, 2011 @ 11:28 in Celebrity Deaths, Terry Fox | Terry Fox Run

Betty Fox was 71. She was Terry Fox's mom and she nurtured his legacy into one of international action and inspiration in the fight against cancer.

Every year I raise funds here and run in the Terry Fox Run. This year, I won't just be running for Terry, I'll be running for Betty, too.

Michael J. Fox's Marathon of Hope
Published by Toronto Mike on February 15, 2010 @ 11:40 in Terry Fox | Terry Fox Run

This one is a few days old now, but it's worth an entry. Meredith Vieira, who was on NBC talking about Betty Fox, speculated that as mother of "Michael Fox…who suffered from cancer, he started that marathon of hope" she might actually be the person who would light the Olympic cauldron.

I can almost accept the slip of the tongue, but the kicker is when NBC throws up a picture of Michael J. Fox to ensure Americans know exactly who Meredith Vieira is talking about.

2009 Terry Fox Run at High Park
Published by Toronto Mike on September 13, 2009 @ 12:24 in Terry Fox | Terry Fox Run

What a fantastic morning. The entire family got out of bed early to participate in the Terry Fox Run at High Park. My wife and kids were met there by my mom, my brother, his wife and their unborn child. That's right, there's an unborn child in the family. Cool, eh?

David Miller was there as well, and I introduced myself as the guy he knows better as @torontomike on Twitter. He was joined by our MP Gerard Kennedy and our MPP Cheri DiNovo.

The reason we were there was to keep going for Terry. That's why I've raised $645.00 thus far. Most of that came from readers of this blog, and for that I'm truly appreciative. You guys are awesome.

It's not too late to sponsor me. If you can afford to give, click over to http://www.terryfox.org/cgi/page.cgi/Run/participants.html/GWJHRE and help pad my total. I promise warm thoughts in return.
