Terry Fox Run

It's the time of the year again... it is TERRY FOX RUN! Yesterday, Mr. Everett, along with the 5th grade ambassadors presented at the assembly to promote TAISM's Terry Fox Run 2012. Terry Fox was a Canadian, diagnosed with bone cancer in his knee and had to amputate his leg and get an artificial leg. Full of aspiration and determination, Terry Fox, at age 18, decided to run across Canada to raise money for cancer research. Despite the challenge he had to face in running across the country with an artificial leg, Fox never gave up. Fox fought his battle with cancer until the very end and left a true legacy. He inspired many of us that everything is possible if you put your mind to it.

Our Terry Fox Run is going to be Wednesday, February 8th at 2:30pm. By now, you should have received a pink T-shirt order form. If you haven't yet, please return the form and money by tomorrow, Wednesday, January 25th. All proceeds go to cancer research to children in Oman.
