Imagine this, finally getting to start something 

you love, being able to show others what you can do. This was Terry Fox, just a regular guy who wants to join basketball. One day he finally makes it, and after just a short while he feels a sharp pain in his right knee. Sure enough this pain cannot be ignored because, it turns out, he has osteosarcoma, a rare bone cancer. This meant the end of his basketball season.

          Terry Fox is now one of many Canadian heroes, for attempting to run across our country to raise money and awareness for the fight against cancer. Just because Terry didn't make it, it doesn't mean this cause should stop, so on Friday, September 27, Major School was ready to run. For about a month the 4/5/6 class and their wonderful supervisor Ms. Reichert, had been organizing this great event. Well, let’s start from the very beginning.

          The community of Major was excited as they lined up, with the hot sun beating down on them, waiting for the sign to start.

          “Ready, Set, GO!” shouted Mrs. Ross, the principal, and the crowd was off. All I could see was heads bobbing as they bolted towards the next corner while we were off on our way to set up the water station. Luckily, we beat the crowd, but we forgot the cups! Ms. Komar, our helper for the water station, quickly drove back to the school as I started to get worried. She grabbed the cups, and then she grabbed her phone for music. Unfortunately, a lot of thirsty people passed while Ms. Komar was hurrying to get back, so they just squirted refreshing water into their thirsty mouths. It was so amazing how many tired people from the community passed by. It felt great to encourage them when I gave them water to help them keep going. I especially loved it when I got to run with them for a short distant, until AJ, my partner, handed them their water, even though I was wearing slippers! After a little while, we thought we were done so we drove over to see if any thirsty runners were still out there. Then we went back to the school and snacked on some of the delicious leftover snacks.

                Major School’s Terry Fox Run was a great success, raising $1890 for cancer research, which is  more than last year! Although the Run is over for the year, it doesn't mean we should stop making miracles. Even if I don’t finish we need others to continue. Terry Fox July 10, 1980.
