Terry Fox Run 2007
~ The Running I Can Do, even if I have to crawl every last mile ~ Terry Fox
I’m about the most active person alive and since my last attempt at running with the Pacesetters, I’ve never stepped foot into the gym again. I even lost my pathetic ancient running shoes which I used for the Pacesetters run, being too cheap to buy a new pair just for one run.
But when I surfed over to Kennysia’s blog today and saw his latest post on the coming Terry Fox run; the huffing, puffing and “close to dying” feeling I got from the last run strangely enough started to seem quite appealing again!
It has a lot to do as well with Terry Fox, the Canadian young man behind this run who ran 5,373 km for 143 consecutive days across Canada to raise funds for cancer research. I used to study in the Canadian Matriculation Pre-University Programme and I remember what a hype and hero this young 22-year-old was to all Canadians. Back then, I didn’t have means of getting to the run and I have to admit, was a whole lot lazier than I am now, if that was possible!
However, this year, in the name of cancer research which hopefully will help to save millions of lives one day, I’m turning up at the Lake Gardens on Sunday, 4th November 2007 at 8.30am to play my part in turning a young man’s single dream into a world of hope, even if I’ll have to crawl every last mile in my untrained and zero stamina state!
