COBDEN – This year has been a very challenging year, and we are challenged to do things different.
The Terry Fox run has always been a favourite “FALL” tradition for millions. Friends, family, neighbours, strollers, pets, bicycles, wheel chairs met at Logos Land, where we enjoyed the beautiful trails and hospitality of the “Paxtons”, as well as hotdogs, and treats, and we always had a beautiful sunny day. Many of the participants came as a family, and although our main purpose was to keep Terry’s Dream Alive, we did enjoy the fellowship of the other participants, and the children enjoyed playing at the playground.
This year will be different. The event is as follows: Sunday, September 20th – you are invited to do your “own thing”. Choose your own route/location to safely walk, run, bike, hike, skip, rollerblade, horseback ride do an exercise work out .
WE WILL UNITE IN SPIRIT, NOT IN PERSON.
TERRY ONCE SAID “ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE IF YOU TRY”
so lets give it our best shot! It may not be how we want to do it, but it will be different – we gotta keep going!!
T –Shirts are available at 58 Main Street (Helferty Insurance) You may also drop off your donation or pledge sheet at this location.
On SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 20TH – the team of Volunteers will be at 58 Main Street from 11 AM until 2PM
- You may complete your donations on line, but we will be most happy to accept your personal donations or pledge sheets.
As a token of appreciation we will be giving out “Ice-cream tokens “to be used at the SCOOP Ice Cream shop on Main Street. Sponsored by Irene at THE SCOOP, and Helferty Insurance.
