Running with Terry Fox

I completely forgot that today was the Terry Fox Run. It was only because i was listening to my favorite radio station (over the internet) that i even thought about it. So, in my quest to keep YOU in the know, i have included a link to Wikipedia's site on Canada's 2nd Greatest Canadian:

Check it out. He was pretty important to Canadian cancer awareness and fundraising. His legacy makes me feel like i should be out there doing something that helps people other than just myself. I think that was maybe the point Dad was trying to make as he dragged his herd of kids out to it every year, regardless of the weather. It's not enough just to be here, you've got to do something to make a difference, no matter how small a difference that may be.

So to all those running today, thank you. To all those who aren't here to run with us today-we really miss you. And for those not running today- what's stopping you?
