Carl Duivenvoorden is taking volunteers to clean up the beaches on Frye Island on Saturday and raise money for the Terry Fox Foundation. He'll tell us about it.

Sometimes in this business, you go looking for the story and sometimes the story finds you... Last week, former Terry Fox Run organizer David Picard talked about his years of work putting this event together, and then he offered an opportunity: How would you like to hear from the woman that started it all? This week, we learn about the beginning of the Terry Fox Run and we'll learn how she did it. Terry Fox died at Royal Columbian Hospital in New Westminster. B.C. on June 19, 1981; he went into the hospital complaining of chest congestion and then he developed pneumonia. He fell into a coma and died nine days later. Terry had to abandon his Marathon of Hope the September before because the cancer was in his lungs, and he literally couldn't run any further than Thunder Bay. It was 143 days and 5,373 kilometres after his history making run began. The first Terry Fox Run in his honour happened just over two months after he died. Over 300,000 people across Canada took part raising $3.5 million, which was a down payment for the $850 million that the run has raised since that time. It's hard to believe something this long-lasting and influential was slapped together in just a few months, but that's what happened in the summer of ‘81, and Betty Stone was the person in Guelph who heard the call. This week, she's going to tell us how she answered. Betty Stone joins us on this week's podcast to talk about her background as a teacher at King George School in Guelph, how an idle conversation before the start of the school year lead to the first Terry Fox Run, and how it quickly became a whole community effort. She will also talk about how something this big was organized in the pre-social media age, the outsized role of schools in supporting the Terry Fox Run, and why we still need heroes to look up to. So let's talk about the beginning of the Terry Fox Run on this week's Guelph Politicast! This year's Terry Fox Run will take place on Sunday September 15 at Silvercreek Park at the corner of Wellington and Edinburgh. You can sign up to take part in the Terry Fox Run at the website for the Terry Fox Foundation, and you can follow the Guelph organizers on Instagram. If you have any questions about the run you can send to Theresa McGeragle at terryfoxrunguelph [at] gmail.com. To here last week's podcast with David Picard click here.

The first Terry Fox Run took place in 1981, just a few months after the young man it's named after passed away, and a little over a year after his Marathon of Hope came to an abrupt end. Over the last 43 years, millions and millions of dollars have been raised for cancer research, including over $1 million from Guelph alone, and all of this was done through the power of some very passionate volunteers. This is the story of one of them. Tuesday July 22, 1980 was “Terry Fox Day” in Guelph, it was the day that the man himself passed through the Royal City while on his Marathon. He ran through town, stopped at city hall and was welcomed by Mayor Norm Jary and other dignitaries, and then continued on his way down the road to Halton Hills. It was a little over a month later when Terry called it quits, though not by choice. One of the people inspired by Terry's run was David Picard, and he started running too. He organized a run at the Ontario Reformatory where he worked, and then when the OR closed he started organizing the city run. The passion is still there after over 40 years, but Picard is now passing the torch to someone new with this year's Terry Fox Run, but today he's making a pit stop on this podcast. Picard joins us to talk about his history with the Terry Fox Run, why he's stayed with it all this time, and why he's now ready to hand off the reins to someone new. We will also talk about his collection of memorabilia, and Picard's experience following in Terry Fox's footsteps. After that, he will discuss the ins and outs of organizing the Terry Fox Run, the outsized roles that school students play in its success, and why the community keeps coming out year after year. So let's run for a good cause on this week's edition of the Guelph Politicast! This year's Terry Fox Run will take place on Sunday September 15 at Silvercreek Park at the corner of Wellington and Edinburgh. You can sign up to take part in the Terry Fox Run at the website for the Terry Fox Foundation, and you can follow the Guelph organizers on Instagram.

Tune in to Episode 4 in Season 3 of our BC's Path to Universal Child Care Podcast. Today we welcome you back to our podcast with our special guest: Carrie McCormack, a Program Coordinator with the Child Care Resource and Referral Program in Williams Lake.We are honoured and grateful to welcome Carrie McCormack to share insights on  exploring how to create and sustain meaningful, relevant, and what Carrie describes as “heart changing” professional development through communities of practice:My name is Carrie McCormack and I am the Program Coordinator at Women's Contact Society for Child Care Resource and Referral (CCRR), in Williams Lake, BC.  I was born in Williams Lake, grew up in the 100 Mile House area and then jumped on a Greyhound bus headed for Vancouver, about an hour after graduation.  I worked with TELUS (formerly BC Tel) for 20 years, BC Parks and The Terry Fox Foundation before returning to Williams Lake to support a career opportunity my husband had.  Full circle moment!  I am a big hearted, passionate and silly Grandma to 2 grandchildren, a partner and friend to my funny guy, Ron, a Mom, a sister, a daughter to Metro (Ukrainian) and Shirley (Huron Nation and French Canadian) and a friend to most everyone and those creatures that don't scare me too much.  I love sharing food and having a table full of family, friends, or the many strays my children brought home over the years. I attended University in 2019 to begin my Human Services education.  I gained a certificate as a Community Support Worker/Education Assistant, after year 1, and completed my practicum at Women's Contact Society.  I was offered the position of Program Coordinator for CCRR and accepted it with excitement and little apprehension.Age and experience have taught me that if I want to continue to grow and enjoy life's continuous surprises, I should always take the path that is a little uncomfortable, unknown or even a little awkward.  So right after I said yes to working with the ECE Bursary Team my first thoughts were, "What exactly does a Program Coordinator do? Who is ECE Pro D Bursary? and What's an ELF Communities of Practice?  ELF must be a game they teach us to play with children!"Here I am, over three years later wrapping up our fifth Communities of Practice on April 20th, 2024.  I can't wait to spend time in person with this group and Katie Crosby, Occupational Therapist, who has been working with us for over two years now.  It feels more like I'll be attending a high school reunion than a professional gathering as we have created such deep connections, support, trust in each other after sharing our stories, lots of laughs and some tears.    I am so grateful to the ECE Pro D Bursary team for their encouragement and support over the past three plus years.  The debriefs after each COP session were game changers for me and impacted the way I approach training and sharing information.  And to the participants who showed up for me, the children, their families, themselves.  Thank you for showing up, sharing, leading, questioning and impacting my heart, my work, my life.  What a gift you all have been.     I will close with this thought.  Prepare, plan, set the table and serve an appy (topic of discussion or something to ponder) and then let go and immerse yourself in the dinner conversation.  And maybe…just maybe, someone might ask about something that's not on the table.  Wowzer! If you're interested in starting your own community of practice with child care educators in your region reach out to us by visiting the ECE Professional Development Bursary website at eceprodbursary.org.

Tyler McGregor was just a teenager when he lost a leg to cancer to save his life. But that didn't stop him from skating and playing hockey. McGregor even went on to play sledge hockey in the Paralympics. Now, he's using his skills on the sledge skate to raise money for the Terry Fox Foundation. McGregor is skating a marathon - 42km - in each of the 10 provinces. CBC's James Grudic met up with Tyler McGregor in Deer Lake.

If you were a teenager and had lost your leg to bone cancer, would you run a marathon across Canada? Terry Fox did, back in 1980, so that he could raise money for cancer research. Today, the Terry Fox Run is an annual event in Canada, raising funds for the Terry Fox Foundation and the Terry Fox Research Institute, which invests in cancer research. We speak to Darrell Fox, the younger brother of Terry Fox, who is a senior advisor and member of the Board of Directors for the Terry Fox Research Institute, to find out about Terry's legacy and the impact of research funded by the institute.The Terry Fox Run has been organised in Malaysia since 1991. Register for the upcoming run on 18 December 2022, co-organised by Cancer Research Malaysia.

How do you get a school of just four students - in a community of about a hundred people - to raise a thousand dollars toward cancer research for the Terry Fox Foundation? You tell the students that if they raise the money, they can throw pies at the principal's face. James Cook Memorial in Cook's Harbour set a fundraising goal of three hundred dollars, but the students TRIPLED it. Jessica Simms is the sole charge teaching principal at James Cook Memorial. Grade Six student Lily Brown also joined us on the line.

Yesterday marked the 42nd edition of the Terry Fox Run. In 1980, just 2 years after losing his leg to cancer, 21-year old Terry Fox set out on his Marathon of Hope to raise awareness and funds for cancer research. It's been over 4 decades since that heroic attempt, but Terry's dream of eradicating cancer lives on. This episode is a rebroadcast of an interview we did in 2020 with Fred Fox, Terry's older brother and manager of supporter relations at the Terry Fox Foundation. Together with his siblings, Fred is working tirelessly to help oversee and protect Terry Fox's legacy for future generations.Learn more about The Shakeout Podcast and Canadian Running Magazine on our website https://runningmagazine.ca/category/shakeout-podcast/Follow The Shakeout Podcast on Twitter https://twitter.com/ShakeoutPodcastInstagram https://www.instagram.com/shakeoutpodcast/ andFacebook https://www.facebook.com/theshakeoutpodcast/Subscribe to our weekly show on Apple Podcasts https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/the-shakeout-podcast/id1224828899243

The Hamilton Today Podcast with Scott Thompson: An IPSOS poll caught Scott's eye, asking Canadians what they think of the monarchy and whether it is time to rid the Canadian government of the “monarchy” aspect of its constitutional monarchy status. Scott speaks with Sean Simpson, VP of IPSOS, for more details. Along the way Scott asks retail analyst Bruce Winder about the “tipflation” epidemic creeping up with many debit machines prompting you for a 30% tip at everyday businesses across the country. Halton Regional Police Chief Steve Tanner says it's time to tackle the problem of illegal guns being brought into Canada from the United States. Scott wonders why we have not cracked down on that, and asks Matt Gurney, columnist for the National Post and TVO, what political drive is missing in Ottawa. It is all coming up on the Hamilton Today Podcast. Guests: Michael "Pinball" Clemons, Hoverlink's chief government relations officer and former Toronto Argonauts star. Bruce Winder, Retail Analyst & Author, ‘Retail Before, During & After COVID-19' Michael Mazza, Executive Director of the Terry Fox Foundation.

What does a superhero look like to you? Your image may come from the pages of a comic book or a movie screen. But what if there was a real-life superhero that existed among us? That's what Terry Fox was. If this is the first time you're hearing this name, this is a look back at a person who, in 1980, would run across Canada on one leg to raise money and awareness for cancer research. This is the astonishing story of not only a mind-boggling physical feat but a genuine hero in every sense of the word.  You can learn more about the Terry Fox Foundation by visiting: Terryfox.org If you're interested in supporting this show, you can check out Patreon.com/80s to learn more.

As a newspaper boy, Bill Vigars once almost set a school on fire -- which, in a bizarre way, eventually led to him running half-way across Canada with Terry Fox.That's just one of the amazing true tales you'll hear from a master storyteller who truly has a million of 'em. When I first met Bill, in the late '80s, he was the publicist for Night Heat, a CTV cop show that shot on an overnight schedule. It starred Scott Hylands and Jeff Wincott and was a rare, early example of a Canada-US cross border success, airing in both late night and prime time on the CBS schedule.That series was co-produced by Sonny Grosso, one of the legendary NYPD cops whose multi-million dollar heroin bust inspired the movie "The French Connection." Vigars once pulled a toy gun on Grosso and lived to tell about it.He tells other stories, too, about Donald Sutherland, Peter O'Toole, Kyra Sedgwick,  David Foster and many others -- including Robert Duval, who played Vigars in a movie!We also talk about a fundraising effort currently underway on behalf of Hylands, an actor's actor in need after a challenging diagnosis. Vigars, still very involved in the Terry Fox Foundation, has always been ready and eager to help spread the word for a friend or a cause.

Virtual Fundraiser July 3rd - Kirk Leach Terry Fox Foundation NL by VOCM

Fred is Terry Fox's older brother, and he was so generous with his time to have a chat with me about Terry and the foundation. Every Canadian knows who Terry Fox is. Kids across Canada today read about him in the history books. Those who were alive in 1980 saw him on TV every morning running across the country on 1 leg and 1 shitty prosthetic. He was raising money to fund cancer research. Over 40 years after his passing at 22 years old from cancer, his foundation has now raised over $850 million. The Canadian Federal Government is planning on putting a new face on the $5 bill, and Terry is the front runner. Terry Fox is a hero, and I think Americans should know about him too. For more info about the Terry Fox Foundation, you can visit terryfox.org

Tyler McGregor is the captain of Canada's para hockey team. He won the silver medal at 2018 Paralympics, bronze at 2014 Paralympics and is a two time world champion. Tyler shares how his love of the game helped him transition from an OHL prospect to becoming one of the world's best sledge hockey player after cancer caused him to lose his left leg as a teenager. Most of all Tyler's inspiring story shows the importance community and giving back, which he recently demonstrated by skating 25km to raise money for cancer research.

Tyler, like many Canadian boys grew up with dreams of one day playing in the National Hockey League. At age 15, Tyler was already playing AAA hockey, the highest level in able-bodied hockey for his age. However, following a leg injury in a hockey tournament, it was discovered and diagnosed that Tyler had spindle cell sarcoma. As a result, Tyler's left leg would have to be amputated to save his life. Rather than let this setback his life, Tyler began playing Sledge Hockey the next year, quickly emerging as a national star. Transitioning from life as an able bodied high-performance athlete, to becoming a single-leg amputee, forced to completely re-envision his life and dreams, Tyler admits that it took him a year to fully come to terms with his new normal. Now, a 2x Paralympian and World Championship Gold medalist, Tyler McGregor finds himself as Team Captain of Canada's National Sledge Hockey team, and recognized as one of the sport's best in the world, with hopes of leading Canada to Paralympic Gold in 2022. @tylermcgregor8 ———  Donate to his 25km sledge hockey initiative for the Terry Fox Foundation: https://secure.terryfox.ca/registrant/mobile/mobilePersonalPage.aspx?RegistrationID=4854235&Referrer=direct%2Fnone   ——  Follow us at: http://thepalspod.com/ // @thepalspodcast @boutsalis @yourpalrick // thepalspodcast@gmail.com  ——    Shoutout to our sponsors @cottagesprings!  Cottage Springs is Canadian based vodka beverage company.

#108 - Who do you look up to for motivation in running? Terry Fox is the first person I think of. If you're a Canadian you know all about about. There isn't a Canadian alive who doesn't know who Fox is, he is a greater hero than even Wayne Gretzky, The Great One there. And with good reason. In the cold and dark of winter, it's good to hear about those heroes in history who blazed trails no one had before. Who were not afraid to go it alone. Who knew that failure might happen, but did it anyway. Terry Fox will forever remain one of the mightiest in running.

It only takes one person with a dream to change the world. In 1980, Terry Fox, an amputee, ran across Canada to raise money for cancer research.

On Sunday September 20th Canadians around the world will run, walk and roll in the annual Terry Fox Run. In 1980, just 2 years after losing his leg to cancer, 21-year old Terry Fox set out on his Marathon of Hope to raise awareness and funds for cancer research. Sunday's run marks 40 years since that heroic attempt, but Terry's dream of eradicating cancer lives on. This week we speak with Fred Fox, Terry's older brother and manager of supporter relations at the Terry Fox Foundation. Together with his siblings, Fred is working tirelessly to help oversee and protect Terry Fox's legacy for future generations.Learn more about The Shakeout Podcast and Canadian Running Magazine on our website https://runningmagazine.ca/category/shakeout-podcast/Follow The Shakeout Podcast on Twitter https://twitter.com/ShakeoutPodcastInstagram https://www.instagram.com/shakeoutpodcast/ andFacebook https://www.facebook.com/theshakeoutpodcast/Subscribe to our weekly show on Apple Podcasts https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/the-shakeout-podcast/id1224828899243

Gwen Smith-Walsh is the director for the Terry Fox Foundation in New Brunswick and PEI.

Mark Sutcliffe hosts a conversation with Darrell Fox, Terry's younger brother, who joined Terry and his friend Doug Alward, on the Marathon of Hope in Saint John, New Brunswick, in May 1980, at the age of 17. To mark the 40th anniversary of the Marathon of Hope, Forever Terry: A Legacy in Letters recounts the inspiration, dedication, and perseverance that Terry Fox embodied, and gives voice to an icon whose example spoke much louder than his words. Comprising 40 letters from 40 contributors, and edited by Terry's younger brother Darrell on behalf of the Fox family, Forever Terry pays tribute to Terry's legacy, as seen through the eyes of celebrated Canadians ranging from Margaret Atwood, Bobby Orr, Perdita Felicien, Jann Arden, and Christine Sinclair, to those who accompanied Terry on his run, Terry Fox Run organizers, participants, supporters, and cancer champions. Appearing alongside never-before-seen photos of their hero, their reflections reveal connections that readers would never have expected, and offer a glimpse into the way goodness and greatness inspire more of the same. Forever Terry is a testament to the influence one brave man has had on the shape of Canadian dreams, ambitions, and commitment to helping others. Author proceeds support the Terry Fox Foundation, which has raised over $800 million for cancer research.

I’m not entirely sure how this happened, but we are on episode 200! It’s fitting that we have something a little different this week. It’s not a novel or a non-fiction book or a chapbook or a poetry collection. It’s Forever Terry: A Legacy in Letters, a collection of letters celebrating the life, dedication and heroism of Terry Fox, on the 40th anniversary of the Marathon of Hope. I was privileged to speak with his brother, Darrell Fox, who acted as editor on this unique book. All proceeds from the book go to support the Terry Fox Foundation. This year’s Terry Fox Run is, like most things these days, virtual. If you’re listening on or before the 20th of September, 2020, you can go here to support or find out more.

Guest: Fred Fox, Terry Fox’s brother & Supporter Relations Manager for Terry Fox Foundation. 

The Terry Fox Run is an annual event in Montreal area schools. One of the most prolific fundraisers is a Grade 6 student at Edinburgh Elementary in Montreal West. This year marked Avah Pennefather’s 11 th “run”. Her first was in her stroller pushed by her mother, Lauren. Avah is 11 years old and has spent her life raising funds for the Terry Fox Foundation, up to $11,000…so far. Her passion and dedication is inspiring and heartwarming and she’s only 11 years old! Her support has been her family, her school and her community. Principal Mauro Zampini is proud of all Edinburgh students for their support of the Terry Fox Foundation. But why is young Avah so fascinated by Terry Fox? She explains in our podcast when she is proudly wearing a T-shirt actually worn by Terry during his Marathon of Hope (still has dirt on the back!) and given to her personally by Terry’s brother Darrell.

Canadians across the country will be taking part in the annual Terry Fox Run. There are 17 runs taking place in Metro Vancouver alone. Guest: Donna White - BC/Yukon Provincial Director, Terry Fox Foundation

What we cover: "Just take one small step --- every day." -- Matt Hill   There are some people on this amazing planet who you just know when you meet them are the ones who are on a mission to make it an even more spectacular place than it already is. Undeniably, one of those people is Matt Hill.  A much sought after voice actor, he’s well known as having played Raphael on the Ninja Turtles, he’s Tender Heart the Care Bear, he’s Ton Ton on the Netflix and DreamWorks series DinoTrux, he’s Ed on Ed, Edd, and Eddy. He’s kind of everywhere. Which is no surprise because he is tireless. But he’s more than just enthusiastic and energetic -- he is joy filled, he oozes integrity, he is kind, and he takes action.  In May, 2008, he and his friend, Steph, embarked on an unthinkable journey; on a tour they named The Run for One Planet Tour, which would ultimately see them run from Vancouver, on the west coast of Canada, to St John’s Newfoundland on the eastern most tip of Canada, down to the state of Florida across to the state of California, and back home to Vancouver 369 days later by running a marathon each day, every one of those days. The purpose? To connect with kids, and to remind them to be kind to the planet. By that end of that gruelling yet joyous and unparalleled year, they had connected with more than 50,000 students and completed more than 22,000,000 steps… Thereby serving as the real life reminder that every great goal requires a commitment to taking that one next step, and then that one next step, and then that one next step.  You don’t have to be a runner or an athlete to get that what Matt has accomplished is a metaphor for us all – for anyone who is playing with the idea of a Big Hairy Audacious Goal. No matter the objective, it’s about taking that first step… and then not stopping until you’ve taken 21,999,000 more. This year, nearly 8 years after the initial tour wrapped, Matt and Steph were recognized with a Governor General Meritorious Award – for bringing honour to their home country, Canada. And on the day this posts, Monday, May 8th, 2017, in the city of Vancouver, it is the official Run for One Planet Day – a day set aside to get active, and to take action.  Matt being Matt, an unstoppable force, will be running through the streets of Vancouver from 8am to 8pm. If you’re in Vancouver, swing by the Terry Fox Monument in front of BC Place for his 8am send off or for his 8pm finish at the same place – an intentional location, in light of the fact that Terry remains to this day the single biggest inspiration in Matt’s life, just as he is to so many people across Canada and around the world.  A quick admin item about Terry Fox, Matt and I talk about him and the work of the Terry Fox Foundation, the uber-well-respected organization dedicated to cancer research. We were unsure of the amount that has been raised in Terry’s name and we made a guess and we were way off… When you hear us talk about it, just know the actual amount is closer to $750 million.  If you can’t join Matt from where you are, send him a shout-out on social media. Reach out to him on Twitter at: @MattHillInspire. Or on Instagram at: @MattHill_Inspire. Cheer him on from wherever you are. We are posting this episode a day earlier than we usually do, so that we can rally as much support for this stellar human and his “Let’s Be Good to Ourselves and to the Planet” message as is possible.

What we cover: “I just wish people would realize that anything’s possible if you try. Dreams are made possible if you try.”  – Terry Fox   In March 1977, when Terry Fox was just 18 years old, doctors confirmed that what he had thought was a sore right knee on account of a previous injury, was in fact cancer. Six days later, Terry had his right leg amputated six inches above his knee. However, the night before the surgery, a coach showed him an article about the first above-the-knee amputee to run the New York City Marathon. A flame was lit and Terry was inspired. Not long after, as he was recovering – during his front row seat to the suffering of cancer patients in treatment – Terry hatched a plan. That plan, to traverse Canada – from the eastern tip to the western tip, by running a full marathon each and every day. So it was, on April 12, 1980, Terry dipped his leg into the Atlantic Ocean and began his journey. By the time he had run across Newfoundland, the goal was official: He would collect the equivalent of $1 from every Canadian, for a total of $22,000,000 in the fight against cancer. A few weeks into this never-before-been-done expedition, The Marathon of Hope, Terry had a welcome new team member join him, his younger brother, Darrell. The stuff of those days – those magical weeks and months – is today the stuff of Canadian and ultimately global legend: The smelly van, the occasional tensions, the miraculous momentum gained along the way – so that by the time Terry and his team arrived in Ontario, the cause and the visionary behind it, had become the nation’s single focus. I was 8-years-old when Terry wowed this country with the power of a dream. I was 8-years-old when I was visiting my Oma and Opa downtown Toronto, and the crowds of thousands were gathering just to catch a glimpse of this special person. And I was 8-years-old when on September 1 of that year, we learned that Terry’s cancer had spread and he’d have to stop running. However, what became clear in the days immediately after, was that the rest of the country had picked up Terry’s baton. Terry saw that we were absolutely not going to forget him and the realities of cancer any time soon. And I was 8-years-old, when I got the news, that on June 28, 1981 – Terry Fox died.   To sit across from Darrell Fox, Senior Advisor at the Terry Fox Research Institute, is to sit across from ego-less greatness. Terry’s siblings: Fred, Darrell, and Judi – as well as parents Rollie and Betty – have spearheaded a well-respected team in the form of The Terry Fox Foundation that continues to carry Terry’s flame, raising more than $750,000,000 dollars in doing so.
