New Terry Fox Run Organizer


There will be a new organizer of the Terry Fox run in Fort Frances this September.

The Church of the Holy Spirit in Fort Frances will coordinate the run's thirtieth anniversary.

Spokesperson Cheryle Wolfe says there's a significant connection to the church.

"We have a member of our congregation, George Walsh and his brother Sandy, who have taken part in the carrying of the colour flag in Thunder Bay since day one," says Wolfe. "It's kind of a special thing for George which is a special thing for all of us."

Wolfe says they are looking at a new route and ways of involving more people from around the district.

Pledge forms and t-shirts are expected to be made available soon.
