TERRY FOX RUN again? Yes dude and dudettes the Terry run is once again alive and well all over Canada. A celebration of life, a marathon of hope, triumph and a great cause for the victim and survivor of CANCER. Those who were touched and affected by cancer cannot help include themselves and be involved in this annual celebration of H.O.P.E = Health Opportunity for People Everywhere.
Intrigued by its story, last night on TV they showed the movie made for terry Fox on how he battled cancer of the bone. He walked and hopped on the road, on the highway from his hometown to the nearby city until it was turned into a headline breaking news every time he crossed the street to street, community from every community up to the point that he crossed so many bridges, coast to coast and he became popular all over Canada and other parts of the world. He never stop no matter how far, no matter how hot the climate and no matter how cold it could be making him vulnerable to the unruly weather that caused him to succumb to an even greater foe. It's not cancer that killed him but his struggle to breathe, he died of pneumonia, from over fatigue, from relentless pursuit of the cure for his cancer. That somehow somebody out there will have pity on him and make his greatest wish come alive. It is his greatest wish and legacy that this run for the cause be repeated every year and fundraising be held to help those people who are in dire need of help. Through him, his legacy his spirit lives on.
Since there are millions who are touched by his CAUSE it is advisable for the government of Canada to issue an executive order that every year they have to pass a bill, each one is accounted for. Depends on the total population of the country. If there are 24 million Canadians, therefore it must ruled out that 24 million should be allocated for the cause. 24 Million dollars which goes to the Ministry of Health as a yearly budget.Sounds intriguing and controversial? But that's how it was done long time ago. I wonder how the Hon. PM Harper will answer to that kind of generating FUND for government to use and peruse. Think of being in Rome...in period, & in time of plenty.
