BOOHOO!

I have sad news.
Betty Fox, who was the mother of Terry Fox, died today. Sadness. :(
Terry Fox was a Canadian cancer patient who started on a journey running across Canada to raise money for cancer research. He started on the East Coast of Canada, at the shore of St. John's, Newfoundland, and was planning to run all the way to the West Coast. Unfortunately he died in Thunder Bay, Ontario.
However we still celebrate his legacy today, and every year many people and organizations (including our school) hold a Terry Fox Run in his honour. People are still raising a lot of money every day to help fund cancer research.
