Not so fast. The Terry Fox Run will take place this year thanks to Linda A. Linda is very passionate about our community and thankfully she was willing to step up to the plate and organize this years Terry Fox Run. I organized the Run four years in a row when I worked for the Town of Kensington. Great cause and I will be participating in this years run with my family. We will most likely walk not run as our 20 month old daughter will be with us.

Thanks Linda A
It’s Fox on the run again; organizational meeting called for Sunday COLIN MACLEAN The Journal Pioneer
Summerside – Only a day after announcing the city’s annual Terry Fox Run was cancelled, the Terry Fox Foundation says the event is back on. Regional organizers had been unable to secure someone to take charge of the event locally, however, someone has now come forward to fill that void. Linda A, a local artist, contacted the Terry Fox Foundation after seeing the cancellation story in the Journal Pioneer Friday. She is now working towards having a run in Summerside on Sept. 13. “I’m very happy that Linda A has taken it on and hopefully there will be others who will also step up to help her,” said Onne de Boer, provincial director of the Terry Fox Foundation. The local organizer is calling for anyone interested in volunteering for the run to attend a meeting tomorrow (Sunday), at Waterfront Mall at 2 p.m. They can also contact the foundation at 1-506-458-2618 or e-mail de Boer at nbpei@terryfoxrun.org.Everyone is welcome to volunteer, but organizers are hoping at least one person with first aid training will come forward. More information, such as where the run will start and at what time, should be appearing online next week at www.terryfox.org.
